The Estadio de la Ceramica is ready, as Villarreal hope to pick up their first win in this UEFA Champions League campaign, they welcome Manchester City who occupy eighth place after the first two outings.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Champions League odds and betting angles for Tuesday’s fixture:

Villarreal v Manchester City – Tuesday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Villarreal v Manchester City with William Hill

Villarreal are still looking for their first victory of this UCL campaign having lost 1-0 to Tottenham in their curtain raiser before scoring late on against Juventus to earn themselves a point in a 2-2 draw here at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
That stalemate with the Old Lady was the start of Villarreal’s winless three game streak, having since losing 3-1 at Real Madrid and most recently squandering a 2-0 lead against Real Betis on Saturday in La Liga.
Despite being the underdogs in this one, Marcelino’s side have scored at least two goals in eight of their last nine home games, so there’s definitely some hope here that Villarreal can really get at this Manchester City defence.
——————————–
Manchester City would have felt frustrated after conceding a last minute penalty in their previous Champions league outing at Monaco which resulted in a draw for the Blues but they’ve bounced back domestically with back-to-back wins against Brentford and Everton.
With six wins and two draws in their last eight games in all competitions, Pep Guardiola will be hoping his side are showing signs of being back to their best although they’ll need to show that in the UCL, where they’ve won just two of their last nine matches.
Man City travel to Spain with a poor away record in recent UCL fixtures, having lost four of their last five away trips but with Pep Guardiola unbeaten in his eight previous head-to-heads against Villarreal, i’m backing City to get the better of Villareal in an entertaining fixture.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Manchester City To Win, Villarreal 1-3 Manchester City.
