Champions League newcomers Pafos welcome La Liga outfit Villarreal in their second home match of the campaign. The Cypriots have had a respectable start to the campaign, picking up two draws from their opening three matches. Villarreal have had a tough opening set of fixtures, facing Tottenham, Juventus and Manchester City, picking up just one point from a possible nine.

Villareal to Win

Villarreal come into this clash with superior squad depth and European experience. The Spaniards will be full of confidence as their squad has the perfect mix of players required to succeed in Europe.

They are stacked with a real blend of proven players, such as Dani Parejo and Gerard Moreno, as well as exciting younger prospects like Alberto Moleiro and Georges Mikautadze. The Spaniards have started their domestic season tremendously, sitting 3rd in the league table after 11 matches played, and I just cannot predict that a Pafos side, who are winless in their opening three Champions League fixtures, will stand in their way.

Pafos have attempted to bring some European experience into their ranks this summer, their signing of Brazilian veteran David Luiz, a man with 67 UEFA Champions League appearances, highlights this. Comparing both sets of squads and their recent results, I just can’t see past a Villarreal win.

Over 4.5 Villarreal Corners

The next angle I am taking is corners against Pafos. In their opening three Champions League games, their opponents have recorded six, six and nine corner kicks. Including qualifiers, the hosts have averaged 5.89 corners against over the European campaign when including qualifying matches.

I expect Villarreal to dominate, with the hosts deploying a low block. They have had an average of just 32% possession over their three games, which may have been hindered by some early red cards – but I expect more of the same.

The visitors averaged 4.75 corners per game last season, and this data has carried over to this season, averaging 4.47.

📈 Pafos v Villarreal Form & Stats

Pafos have started their domestic campaign well, taking 21 points from nine games – sitting 2nd in the league.

It will be an uphill challenge for the Cypriots as they face a Villarreal side at the top of their game. They will come into this game full of confidence after an impressive 4-0 home victory over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, which will inspire them to kick their European campaign off properly.

The visitors will want to bag a few goals, as they have only scored in one of their opening three matches. They were slightly hard done by, looking at the underlying data, they managed to create 1.28 xG against Man City, with midfielder Santi Comesana missing a great chance in the first half, which would’ve pulled them level at the time.
