Villarreal vs Liverpool predictions and Europa League betting tips for this week’s semi-final first leg in Spain.
The Europa League final is in sight for both of these teams and Liverpool will be delighted to get the first leg away from home. An away goal could give them a big advantage in the tie but Villarreal have had a great season and are unbeaten in the Europa League since mid-September.
Villarreal vs Liverpool Predictions
Villarreal have won eight and drawn three of their last 11 Europa League matches and on home soil they have won their last six, conceding just one goal in that time. That is a brilliant record in anybody’s book and gives Liverpool a tough task to go and get an away goal. In their last 18 home matches in all competitions, Villarreal have kept 13 clean sheets.
Liverpool are in great form under Jurgen Klopp but have been hit by the injury to Divok Origi and suspension of Sakho so this is a tough task for them. They’ve only scored four away goals in six Europa League matches so far this season and I think they could fail to find the net against Villarreal so my first Villarreal vs Liverpool prediction is for Villarreal to keep a clean sheet at odds of 15/8.
VILLARREAL TO KEEP A CLEAN SHEET – 13/8 Betfred
Correct Score Prediction
I am predicting a Villarreal win in this first leg of the Europa League semi-final against Liverpool and the odds of 6/4 for them to win are very fair indeed. Liverpool tend to draw a lot of Europa League away matches but their missing players could be the difference here. The chances are this won’t be a high scoring match so it makes sense to have a bet on a correct score of either 1-0 or 2-0 to Villarreal. Liverpool haven’t conceded more than one in any away Europa League game so far this season so my second Villarreal vs Liverpool betting tip is a correct score prediction of Villarreal to win 1-0.

First Goalscorer Tip
For my final football betting tip I am sticking with a player who has won us bets in Villarreal’s last two Europa League matches and that man is Cedric Bakambu. He has been unstoppable in front of goal this season with 22 goals including nine in 11 Europa League matches. He netted twice in each leg against Sparta Prague and my final Villarreal vs Liverpool prediction is for Bakambu to score the first goal of the match.
BAKAMBU TO SCORE FIRST – 11/2 Paddy Power.
