Villarreal vs Arsenal Prediction

Neither side has been in particularly strong form coming into this semi-final, but the involvement of a former manager should get the pulses rising. When you throw in that the teams have met before in a major European Semi-Final and Villarreal are still yet to reach a Final then you have all the ingredients for an excellent tie. We are predicting another draw in Villarreal between the teams.

Correct score prediction: Villarreal 1-1 Arsenal

Arsenal Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

This game sees Villarreal boss Unai Emery up against his former side Arsenal. Emery managed the Gunners for 18 months from May 2018 - November 2019. This adds extra spice to a game which brings together two teams both currently out of the European places in their domestic competitions. Villarreal in 7th in La Liga, Arsenal in 10th in the Premier League. Neither side picked up any points last weekend, Arsenal losing 1-0 at home to Everton with Villarreal going down 2-1 at home to Barcelona.

Villarreal have never qualified for a major European final.
