Upcoming Predictions for Football
Villarreal CF
In the 1/16 finals of the Europa League "Villarreal" proved to be stronger than "Salzburg", winning both - away (2:0) and at home (2:1).
In the standings of the Spanish Primera, the "Yellow Submarine" is in the seventh position with 37 points after 26 rounds. Unai Emery's squad has not won the national championship since January 8 and lost in the last two matches to "Atletico Madrid" (0:2) and "Valencia" (1:2).
Vicente Iborra, Francis Coquelin, Alberto Moreno, Ruben Peña and Yeremi Pino are injured and will not participate in the match.
Statistics
- In 10 of the last 13 home matches of "Dynamo" in the EL, there has been no more than 1 goal scored in the second half.
- In 6 of 7 previous home games of "Dynamo Kyiv" in the Europa League, there have been less than 3 goals scored.
- "Dynamo" has scored in 7 of their last 9 home matches in the UEL.
Our Prediction
Bookmakers don't expect a lot of goals to be scored in this match. Perhaps we will agree with the experts. This season "Yellow Submarine" defends quite well, but in the attack, everything is not so smooth: only 29 goals in 26 rounds of Primera.
And since "Dynamo" defended solidly in the confrontation with "Brugge", we believe that the teams will not score more than two goals in Kyiv.
Our prediction is a total of under 2.5 goals for odds of 1.73 on 1xbet.
