All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Man City lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Champions League game. The Yellow Submarine made a fine start to their La Liga campaign and they are now on a quest to record their first Champions League win. The hosts are boosted by Ayoze Perez’s return from suspension, while duo Nicolas Pepe – Pape Gueye is pushing for a start after coming off the bench in a 2-2 draw with Real Betis.
The Citizens, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Everton at the weekend. With Pep Guardiola’s men finding their best form in recent weeks, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Erling Haaland and Co. Both Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov remain in the recovery room, while former Wolves wing-back Ait Nouri is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 21 October 2025 at 20:00.
