Villarreal vs Juventus Prediction & Match Preview

Villarreal vs Juventus
UEFA Champions League
Date: Tuesday, 22 February 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio de la Ceramica.

Villarreal have been on a superb run lately, and particularly so at home. They are also the current Europa League champions – which means they are familiar with the challenges associated with knockout fixtures.

Moreover, they had just held titans Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw, and had recorded a 0-2 win on the road against in-form Betis some weeks back.

Surely they are a team that is to be respected in this edition of the CL.

Meanwhile, former Italian champions Juve have not had a great campaign in 2021-22 in the Serie A. But they did manage to come first in their group in the first round of the Champions League. And note that this group also had defending champions Chelsea.

As these two take on each other at the Estadio de la Ceramica this Tuesday, sparks are sure to fly. The expectation is that either team will find the back of the net at least once.

Villarreal vs Juventus Head-to-head (h2h)

• The only encounter between the two was a friendly in 2009, which the Spaniards won 1-4.
• Villarreal had an unbeaten record in their last two matches against Italian teams, and had scored a total of five goals in the process.
• The latest game for Juve against a Spanish opponent was their CL match-up last year against Barcelona, which they won 3-0.

Villarreal vs Juventus Prediction & Analysis

Villarreal recorded a 2-3 win on the road against Atalanta, in their latest CL fixture. They are also on a superb stretch of performances at home, and have a 100% winning record here since mid-December barring just two draws. And these two draws had come against the two Madrid teams.

On the other hand, Juve too are on a long unbeaten streak, and they too are scoring goals at an amazing rate. They had recorded a 1-0 win at home against Malmo in their latest CL game, and they had also topped their group – which had Chelsea in it.

By the looks of things, expect a cracker of a fixture this Tuesday between the two teams. It’s anticipated that both teams will score goals at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
