Levante host Villarreal at the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium on Wednesday night, which will give Karl Etta the chance to face his former club. The Cameroon international has scored six La Liga goals this season, with one of those coming for the Yellow Submarine in gameweek 1. 

Etta is averaging 2.39 shots per 90 in the Spanish top-flight this campaign, which is nothing spectacular, but 43% of his efforts have hit the target, which is impressive efficiency. He has a knack for popping up in dangerous positions, meaning a lot of the chances that fall at his feet are of a high quality. 

He has landed this bet in all six starts for Levante at the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium this season. Facing his former employers on home turf, Etta will be extra motivated to make an impact.

Como saw their unbeaten run abruptly ended at the weekend, as Fiorentina pulled off a shock result on their travels. With Como battling for the European spots, and Fiorentina near the relegation zone, the hosts came in as heavy pre-match favourites, but La Viola were able to hold on to a 2-1 victory. Como dominated proceedings in the second half and had the lion’s share of possession, but were unable to make it count. 

Nico Paz accounted for seven of his sides’ 16 shots, and he hit the target once. With nine goals and six assists to his name after 27 appearances this season, Nico Paz is usually the player that Como turn to when they need a moment of inspiration, but he was unable to provide it on this occasion. 

Still, the 22-year-old is averaging 4.03 shots per 90 across all competitions, and he recorded eight shots with four on target when he last faced AC Milan.

Federico Dimarco played a key role against Juventus last time out, as he provided the assist for Pio Esposito to score Inter’s second goal. He might be listed as a wing back on paper, but Dimarco is afforded plenty of attacking license by Cristian Chivu, and is one of Inter’s most influential players in the final third. 

The Italian international has five goals and 12 assists to his name from 23 appearances across all competitions this season, and was on the scoresheet in Inter’s last European outing against Dortmund. 

Dimarco recorded three shots in that game, with two of those hitting the target. He is averaging 2.85 shots per 90 in the Champions League this season, rising considerably to 3.86 when playing away. He also landed this bet against Atletico Madrid, with two efforts hitting the target, and against Ajax on matchday 1.

Even though this is a tough draw for Club Brugge, they will fancy their chances of securing a positive result on home turf. They fared well when they last faced a Spanish side at the Jan Breydel Stadium, as it finished 3-3 against Barcelona on matchday 4 of the Champions League this season. 

Carlos Forbs put in a stellar performance in that game, and it was enough to earn him a call-up to the Portugal squad. Forbs bagged himself a brace against the Spanish champions, landing this selection comfortably. The 21-year-old is averaging 1.73 shots per 90 this season across all competitions, but that figure rises to 2.47 when playing at home. He plays with a lot more confidence in front of a home crowd and seems to be extra motivated to perform in the big games.

Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos are familiar opponents, and they recently met on matchday 7 of the Champions League back in January. The Greek side prevailed by a 2-0 scoreline in that game, although it wasn’t a particularly convincing victory. They managed six shots worth 1.13 xG, while Leverkusen somehow failed to score from any of their 17 efforts worth 2.58 xG. Konstantinos Tzolakis deserves immense credit for his six saves. 

Two of those were to deny Alex Grimaldo, who racked up four shots in that match. The Spaniard is averaging 2.13 shots per 90 in the Champions League this season, and has scored four goals. Grimaldo is given plenty of attacking freedom on the left flank for Leverkusen, and doesn’t hesitate to pull the trigger. He has landed this selection in six out of eight matches on the European stage this season, and will be the designated free kick taker for his side.
