Villarreal hosts Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 15th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villareal)
Villarreal won the first match against Dinamo in Croatia thanks to a penalty shot converted by Gerard Moreno at the end of the first half. But the triumph in the Europa League match did not lead to further success in the Spanish LaLiga. In the last round, Villarreal lost 1-2 to Osasuna at home, breaking a streak of six victories in all tournaments. Jon Moncayola and Ante Budimir scored for the Reds. It is noteworthy that the Yellow Submarine itself could not score a single goal in that match. The defender of the Pamplonians, David Garcia Subiria, sent the ball into his own net. The defeat to Osasuna did not allow Villarreal to overtake its competitors for a place in the top five, Real Sociedad and Betis. With eight rounds to go to the end of the season, Villarreal is in seventh place and lags one point behind the above teams.

After a home defeat to Villarreal, Dinamo Zagreb partially regained its good name in the Croatian Championship. The Blues defeated another club from Zagreb, Lokomotiva, in an away meeting (0-2). Joško Gvardiol and Iyayi Atiemwen scored for the winners. Thanks to that victory over the outsider, Dinamo became the sole leader of the Croatian First League. In 27 matches, the Blues scored 64 points and are two points ahead of their main opponent, Osijek, which had one game in hand.
After the defeat in Croatia, Dinamo has little chance of advancing to the next round. Villarreal is unbeatable at home in the current Europa League. And the Yellow Submarine beat Salzburg (2-1) and Dynamo Kyiv (2-0) in the knockout rounds. The Croats, who have already surpassed themselves in the current tournament, are unlikely to gain even a draw. The score of the first leg will force them to attack and take risks from the first minutes, and it may be easily used by the hosts, led by extremely experienced Emery. The bet on goals scored will be no less interesting. At least two goals have been scored in four of the five Europa League knockout matches of Villarreal. The same outcome was recorded in the last 10 games of Villarreal in the Spanish Championship. We think that the hosts will win, and the fans will see at least two goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win and Over 1.5 goals scored
