LiontipsPaphos - Villarreal: betting tip and bets for the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Pathos unexpectedly made it to the main stage of the Champions League and, after three rounds, made it clear that the team should not be underestimated. The Cypriots snatched a goalless draw away from Olympiacos in the opening round, playing with ten players from the 26th minute. In the second round, there was a crushing 1-5 defeat against Bavaria, but no one can stop the German car. Next, the wards of Juan Carlos Carcedo had a difficult trip to Kazakhstan to Kairat, where there was a goalless draw again, and again they had to play almost the entire match in the minority. Two points scored after three rounds and an intermediate 29th place is not a bad result for a beginner who obviously relies on defense in his game. In the Cyprus Championship, in the last round, Paphos beat AEL (1-0) and is in second place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no losses in the composition of the Pathos.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches of Paphos, there was no exchange of goals scored.
- In seven of the previous nine Cypriot matches in the Champions League, no more than two goals were scored.
Approximate line–up: Neofitos - Lukkassen, Goldar, Luis – Jaga, Shunic, Pepe, Pileas – Orsic, Anderson, Dragomir.
Current form
Villarreal got a very difficult calendar at the start of the Champions League, they had to play Tottenham (0:1), Juventus (2:2) and Manchester City (0:2) in turn. It is not surprising, given the level of the opponents, that they managed to score only one point. Undoubtedly, today the Spaniards are betting only on winning in a confrontation with an opponent inferior in class. In case of loss of points, finishing in the top 24 will be a big question. In the example, Marcelino's team is successfully fighting for the top 4, coming in third place after 11 rounds. In the last game of the championship, Villarreal did not leave a single chance for Rayo Vallecano (4-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Cabanes, Costa and Kambwala are injured and will not play today.
Interesting betting trends
- Villarreal has not won in 10 of the last 13 away matches in the Champions League.
- At least two goals have been scored in 13 of the Spaniards' last 15 matches in the Champions League.
Approximate composition: Tenas — Mourinho, Veiga, Foyt, Pedraza — Pepe, Thomas, Comesanya, Moleiro — Mikautadze, Moreno.

10.40Tip and bets
Villarreal has yet to win a single Champions League game, it was a very difficult calendar and today the guests are clearly betting on victory. At the same time, we would not immediately write off the Pathos. There are no European–level stars in the Cypriot team, but the strength of the team lies in a well-organized team game. The hosts will initially defend themselves with great forces, occasionally running away to counterattack. So far, this tactic has not worked only with Bayern, but Villarreal, for all its advantage in class, is not up to the level of Munich. We believe that Pathos will at least be able to avoid defeat.
Our betting tip is that Paphos will win with an Asian handicap (+1.5) for a coefficient of 1.72
Bet on the total
The match is too unpredictable at first. Pathos relies on defense, duels with high performance in his performance are very rare. Villarreal, on the contrary, does not hesitate to go forward with great forces, habitually relying on his strong attack. Nevertheless, we are more inclined to believe that the hosts will be able to contain the enemy's attack, otherwise they will not succeed today.
The second bet is Villarreal's individual goal total of less than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
On the corners, let's pay attention to the promising trend of the representative of the Example. In seven of the last eight away matches involving Villarreal in the Champions League, no more than nine corners have been served. Accordingly, we recommend another bet on the game.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.78
