Our prediction for this match: Liverpool 3 - 1 Villarreal
Liverpool vs Villarreal Preview
In-form Liverpool will be aiming to maintain their momentum after following a thrilling 6-3 victory over LASK in Champions League round two with a come-from-behind 2-1 Premier League win against Brentford. Alexander Isak has recovered from injury and is available again, while Ryan Gravenberch returns from his domestic suspension. However, Andoni Iraola must cope without Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong, both sidelined after picking up knocks at the weekend. Liverpool have scored 2.00 goals per game in the supplied statistics, and their returning options should help them maintain their attacking threat.
Villarreal also impressed in Europe, beating Napoli 3-1, but they were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Elche in their latest La Liga game. Inigo Perez’s men have struggled for consistency, winning just three of their last ten matches in the supplied form guide. Their task at Anfield is made tougher by the absence of Tajon Buchanan and Nicolas Pepe through injury. Villarreal have conceded 1.60 goals per away game in the supplied figures, a weakness Liverpool will be keen to exploit.
Liverpool’s stronger recent form, home advantage and favourable head-to-head record make Home Win our main betting pick, alongside Over 2.5 goals (50% H2H) and Isak to Score.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 at 20:00.
