The Yellow Submarines take on the Gunners in Spain for the first leg. Alley Sport brings Villarreal predicted lineup vs Arsenal and the build up to the encounter.
Villarreal currently lie in the 7th position in a competitive La Liga season, and their hopes of qualifying for a European spot seem to be slipping away with back to back losses against Barcelona and Alaves, putting the squad in a bad state ahead of their crucial encounter against English giants Arsenal, to seal a place in the final of the Europa League.
Villarreal predicted lineup vs Arsenal: Preview
Villarreal come into the contest losing two out of their previous 3 La Liga clashes, with the most recent being the 2-1 loss to FC Barcelona, who won courtesy of an Antoinne Greizmann brace. Villarreal have made winning the UEFA Europa League their season priority, after showing glimpses of what they can offer with an emphatic win over Dynamo Zagreb in the quarterfinal stage, also conquering Dynamo Kyiv and RB Salzburg in the previous knock out stages of this competition.
Villarreal would be hoping to avoid any goals in the first leg, as they play at home, with Arsenal looking to exploit the poor run of the Yellow Submarines. The match holds significance for both the teams, who have faced their struggles in their domestic campaigns respectively, and focus entirely on UEFA Europa League for silverware and a Champions League spot for the next season.
Villarreal vs Arsenal: Prediction
Unai Emery faces his old club Arsenal, with a point to prove after getting sacked from the Arsenal job. Arsenal are the favorites to qualify for the final of the UEFA Europa League, with Mikel Arteta and his side showing their attacking prowess in the 4-0 victory over Slavia Prague in the second leg of their quarter final match. Villarreal would not make it an easy win for the Gunners, as the match is set up to be entertaining for the viewers.
