Villarreal Preview – Can Villarreal avoid third loss on trot?
Villarreal slipped to a second defeat on the trot on the weekend in La Liga when they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Barcelona which followed a 2-1 loss away from home at Deportivo Alaves, and these are not ideal results for the hosts ahead of this upcoming Europa League semi-final 1st leg tie against Arsenal.
The hosts had also lost 2-1 at home to Osasuna in La Liga before Villarreal responded with back-to-back wins against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League and a 5-1 win away at Levante on the domestic front.
Villarreal have won their last eight ties on the trot in this competition and their last six at home on the bounce as well while six of Villarreal’s last 10 ties at home have resulted in both teams scoring.
Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal forget recent results?
Indifferent results of late have seen Arsenal register just two wins out of their last eight matches in all competitions as the visitors look to shake off their dismal results heading into this crucial 1st leg tie away at Villarreal.
Arsenal only have wins Sheffield United in the Premier League and Slavia Prague in the previous round of the Europa League to show for their efforts in recent weeks while losses to Olympiakos, Liverpool and Everton perhaps suggest it may be best to avoid backing an away win here.
However, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 10 away ties in the Europa League while six of Arsenal’s 10 away ties have also seen both teams score, and this looks the best option here.
