Villarreal Preview – Can Villarreal spring surprise?
It’s been a successful season for Villarreal as they head into this Europa League Final against Manchester United in Poland on Wednesday night as the Spanish club achieved a 7th place finish in this season’s La Liga campaign, thus ensuring their place in next season’s Europa League too.
Villarreal have lost just two of their last seven matches in all competitions which were both in La Liga, at home to Celta Vigo and a final day defeat away from home at Real Madrid, but it’s been Villarreal’s performances in the Europa League that have caught the eye.
The latter stages of the knockout rounds saw Villarreal knock out Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 on aggregate before seeing off Premier League side, Arsenal, 2-1 on aggregate to reach this final, while each of their previous four meetings against Manchester United have all finished in 0-0 draws.
Manchester United Preview – Can United win silverware?
Although they finished 12 points behind their ‘noisy neighbours’ Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title, Manchester United can still be satisfied with their season overall as they prepare for this upcoming Europa League final against Villarreal.
However, despite putting together a recent five-match winning streak in all competitions which included home and away wins over Spanish side, Granada, in the quarter-final of the Europa League along with dumping out Roma in the semi’s, United’s recent results have seen a wobble.
United have won just two of their last six matches overall and although they won on the road in the west midlands at Aston Villa and Wolves, losses to Roma, Leicester City and Liverpool suggest this final may not be as straightforward as many anticipate.
