Villarreal vs Manchester United Predictions and Betting Tips

The Estadio de la Ceramica is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Villarreal and Man United lock horns in the UEFA Champions League group stage on Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

A late Cristiano Ronaldo winner secured all three points when both sides clashed in the reverse game back in September. Villarreal has the home support behind them this Tuesday and it is then left to see if they can utilize their 12th man to get the all-important victory.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

Villarreal's double triumph against Young Boys on Matchdays three and four was enough to send them to the top of Group F. The run for the top two in the group is pretty tight with Atalanta not too far behind on five points. However, we would see Unai Emery's troops in the knockout stage if they win here and Atalanta fails to pick up all three points against Young Boys. Villarreal was held to a 1-1 draw last time out against Celta Vigo but they haven't lost in three games, picking up wins against Getafe and Young Boys before the international break.

Man United's 4-1 loss to Watford last weekend would be their fifth loss in seven league matches which would be enough to convince the Man United board to relieve Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer of his managerial duties. Micheal Carrick would lead the side into this game on Tuesday, a game where they don't only need a sublime performance to bounce back from Saturday's defeat, they also need to get all three points to keep their hopes of making it to the knockout alive. As mentioned earlier, they did get the better of Villarreal but the game could've gone either way with Unai Emery's side being the better side for a large portion of the match.

Villarreal vs man United Prediction: 2-2

Both teams aren't in a great position heading into this game and although we could make an argument of the home side being better off, we don't see the Mancunians leave Spain without a point as they always manage to bounce back after a disappointing result, just ask Tottenham Hotspur.
