Villarreal host Liverpool at Estadio El Madrigal in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals on Tuesday, April 27.
The Yellow Submarine are close to securing the fourth position in the league’s standings and clinching the place in the Champions League for next season and the team has solid chances to win their first ever European Cup. The team took 61 point in 35 matches with 42-31 goal difference and such record allowed them to take this high place in the table. Villarreal are 4 points ahead of Celta Vigo, fifth, and the hosts of the match shouldn’t let this advantage slip with only 3 games remaining to play. Villarreal have eliminated Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen and Sparta Prague in the previous rounds of the Europa League, showing efficient attacking football and playing solid in the defense with 10-4 aggregate goal difference in 6 spring matches of the European Cup. We should mention that the Spanish side won all their 3 home matches (1-0 against Napoli, 2-0 against Bayer and 2-1 against Sparta). Villarreal have played 25 matches at their stadium this season, taking 17 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.
