Liverpool vs Villarreal Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - April 25, 2022

Liverpool vs Villarreal
Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 27 April 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Anfield.

Liverpool keep pushing for a historical quadruple, and more than that for a seventh European crown. If they are able to pull it off, they could climb level with AC Milan, and only Real Madrid will be ahead of them with 13 titles.

They are in scintillating form, and are finding the back of the net at impressive rates. They are also at home, where they have been a menace to visiting teams.

They will try their absolute best to put the tie to rest with this home leg itself, since they know what kind of danger the Yellow Submarines possess.

Knocking out both Juventus, and Bayern Munich, Unai Emery’s men have made a statement to the rest of Europe. And if they are able to lift the Champions League just a year after winning the Europa, it is going to be history.

By all means, expect a fierce encounter this Wednesday at the Anfield.

Still, count on Jurgen Klopp’s men to secure a narrow win, which would put them one step closer to their dream.

Liverpool vs Villarreal Head-to-head (h2h)

• The latest encounter had ended in a 3-0 win for Klopp’s men.
• These two had clashed in the semi final of the 2015-16 Europa League, and then the Reds progressed to the final.

Liverpool vs Villarreal Prediction & Analysis

Liverpool are on a three-fixture winning streak, and they have scored a total of nine goals in the process. They had also won 20 of their past 23 fixtures, and they have lost just once at home in the past eight-month period.

On the other hand, Villarreal were winless in five of their preceding ten fixtures, and they have a total of just four wins on the road in 2022.

Do also note that they have a poor h2h record in recent clashes against this opponent.

For the reasons, expect a win for the Reds this Wednesday.

Still, Villarreal are riding high on confidence at the moment, especially after knocking Bayern and Juventus out. As such, count on them to find the back of the net at least once.
