Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal Match Preview

Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal – Tips, Predictions and 6/1 Bet Builder

Champions League | 28 January | 20:00
Venue: BayArena


Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal Preview

Bayer Leverkusen will be fully focused on claiming all three points on Wednesday night as they host struggling Villarreal in this decisive matchday eight Champions League fixture. Kasper Hjulmand’s side know that victory would be enough to secure a place in the qualification play-offs, adding extra edge to proceedings at the BayArena.

Leverkusen ended a worrying run of three consecutive defeats over the weekend with a narrow 1–0 Bundesliga win over Werder Bremen, a result that should restore confidence. European home form, however, has been underwhelming, with the German side yet to win at the BayArena in this Champions League campaign, having recorded two draws and one defeat so far.

Villarreal arrive in Germany with nothing but pride to play for. The Spanish side have collected just one point from a possible 21 in the Champions League, courtesy of a 2–2 home draw with Juventus, and currently sit among the competition’s lowest-ranked teams.

Villarreal have lost six of their seven Champions League matches, including three straight away defeats at Tottenham, Pafos, and Borussia Dortmund. With morale low and elimination already confirmed, it is difficult to see Marcelino’s side troubling a motivated Leverkusen outfit.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Hjulmand is expected to stick with his attacking 3-4-3 setup, with Alejandro Grimaldo and Lucas Vázquez providing width and creativity from wing-back.

Possible XI:
Blaswich; Quansah, Andrich, Badé; Vázquez, E. Fernández, Aleix García, Grimaldo; Maza, Kofane, Poku


Villarreal Team News

With qualification no longer possible, Marcelino may rotate but is still expected to field experienced figures such as Ayoze Pérez and Nicolás Pépé in attack.

Possible XI:
Tenas; Mouriño, Marín, Veiga, Cardona; Pépé, Comesaña, Partey, Moleiro; Ayoze Pérez, Oluwaseyi

Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal Prediction

Leverkusen’s urgency and superior quality should be decisive against a Villarreal side that has struggled badly in Europe this season. With the home crowd behind them and qualification on the line, the German hosts are well placed to deliver a controlled and professional performance.

Conclusion

With qualification still within reach and Villarreal already eliminated, motivation strongly favours Bayer Leverkusen. If the hosts can replicate the defensive discipline shown against Werder Bremen while maintaining their usual attacking intent, they should have too much quality for a Villarreal side that has consistently struggled on the European stage.
