Second match for the Champions League semi-final between Villarreal and Liverpool at the Estadio de la Cerámica. First match 0-2, the regulation of away goals does not apply. In case of victory of the Spanish team with the same score, an extension will follow and if necessary the penalty procedure.
Villarreal could not look threatening in the first match in England and was normally defeated by Liverpool 2-0. In the first half, it withstood the constant pressure of the hosts, but not in the replay, and conceding two goals, it lost the match fairly.
So to be the one that will pass to the grand final will need a big overrun in today's match as it needs a victory with at least two goals difference.
In the Spanish championship having many changes in her eleven was defeated last Saturday in Vitoria by Alaves 2-1. Defeat that puts her in trouble in the battle for a European ticket, after 34 games she is in 7th place giving the last ticket for the Conference League, in minus 4 from the 6th Sociedad and in plus 1 from the 8th Betis.
Easy victory for Liverpool in the first match with 2-0 against Villarreal which gives it a big qualifying lead in the final of the tournament. She was superior from the beginning of the match, she was not threatened at all by her opponent while she had opportunities to prevail with an even bigger score.
In the Premier League it comes from a 1-0 victory in Newcastle against the local team and reached 82 points and continues to be just one point behind champions Manchester City.
The result of the first match makes Villarreal's task for qualification very difficult, but the Spanish team is given that it will try to enter strongly from the beginning of the match and will look for the goal of hope. Liverpool, on the other hand, has the experience to manage the match and, of course, with its quality, it can "punish" the hosts at any time. With these data, I believe that we will see a match with many phases and goals.
Proposal: Villarreal - Liverpool Over 2,5 with odds of 1.70
