Villarreal hosts Manchester United in round 5 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 23rd at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villareal)
Villarreal has seven points after four matches in the Champions League group stage. Six of them were earned thanks to two victories over Young Boys in the 3rd and 4th round. But Emery's charges scored only one point in the matches against strong Manchester United and Atalanta. The Yellow Submarine is the most productive team in this group. It has already scored nine goals. And again, six of them were scored in the games with the Swiss. Before beating FC Young Boys, the Spaniards had a streak of ten consecutive matches without victories (one draw and nine losses) in the Champions League. On November 20, the Yellows played against Celta at Balaidos, and the teams could not determine the winner (1-1).

It will be very interesting to watch the actions of Manchester United against the backdrop of a really strong opponent. It is possible that the coaching staff will not be able to come up with anything, and the Red Devils will again achieve success due to the individual qualities of such performers as Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and so on. Manchester United, like Villarreal, has seven points after four games in the Champions League. But due to better additional indicators, the British are on the first line. In the last three matches in the Champions League, the Mancunians scored at least two goals against their opponents. But away Champions League games have been tough for Manchester United recently. In the last four matches, the Red Devils did not manage to win a single victory (one draw and three losses).
It will be a very interesting match. Villarreal is a quite strong team. Yes, the Yellows are not always able to snatch victory, but they always fight to the last. Seven of the last 13 games in Spanish LaLiga ended in draws. However, if the Yellow Submarine wants to take a clean 1st place in the group, it must win now. Naturally, Manchester United will also come to Spain only for the victory. The victory will most likely guarantee the Red Devils a place in the playoffs. I think we will see bright football with a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
