LiontipsVillarreal vs Manchester City: betting tip and bets for the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Villarreal is having a high season. In the Example, Marcelino's team is in third place after nine rounds, one point ahead of Atletico and Betis. It is clear that it is difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but if you manage to finish in third place, then in any case it will be a decent success. In the last round, they failed to beat Betis (2-2) on their own field, although Villarreal led 1 after the first half.:0. There has been no such success in the Champions League so far, but the calendar at the start is very difficult. In the first round, there was a 0:1 away defeat against Tottenham, and then at home they managed to snatch a draw from Juventus (2:2). With one point scored, the team is ranked 26th in the overall standings.

12.00Tip and bets
Villarreal couldn't win in the Champions League, lost to Tottenham, and pulled out a draw with Juventus only at the very end. Nevertheless, the hosts do not have serious experience of performing on a regular basis against top opponents, plus, you can constantly see mistakes in defense. Manchester City has clearly reached the peak of its form, the updated squad has played well, Holland is now in excellent playing condition. We do not think that Villarreal will be able to cope with an opponent who has an advantage in class and is in excellent playing condition.
Our betting tip is for Manchester City to win by a factor of 1.76
Bet on the total
We have two attacking teams in front of us, who always strive to play boldly offensively. Villarreal have exchanged goals with their opponents in five of the previous six matches. At the same time, Manchester City, despite the strength of its attack, is vulnerable away, having conceded in three of the last five matches. We believe that there is a high probability of an exchange of goals scored in this pair.
The betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
Regardless of the opponent, Villarreal strives to play boldly in attack on its own field, goes forward with great strength. In seven of the nine previous matches in the Champions League, the team took at least four corners, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that Villarreal's total corners are more than 3.5 with a coefficient of 1.87
