The Gunners return to Emirates Stadium as they prepare to face the Yellow Submarine in an exciting pre-season club friendly. Both sides will be eager to make a statement before competitive action resumes, but it’s Arsenal who come into this clash with stronger momentum and better squad depth. Keep reading to find out our Arsenal vs Villarreal match prediction.
Arsenal’s most recent game saw them suffer a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tottenham. Despite the scoreline, The Gunners dominated key stats with 16 shots and 13 corners, and will be frustrated not to have found the net.
That result will likely fuel a more clinical performance this time around, especially with the expected full debut of Viktor Gyökeres and inclusion of Zubimendi, two key signings likely to start against Villarreal. On the other hand, Villarreal are still winless this pre-season.
The Yellow Submarine drew 1-1 with Leeds in their latest outing, continuing a poor pre-season run that now includes four draws and two defeats. They’ve only managed two goals across their last four games, suggesting problems in the final third. Given their struggles and Arsenal’s strengthened squad, it’s hard to see Villarreal holding out for long at the Emirates.

Our Arsenal vs Villarreal Prediction
While this is only a friendly, the contrast in form and squad quality is hard to ignore. Arsenal may have lost narrowly to Spurs, but their attacking output and energy suggest a rebound is coming.
With two high-profile new signings expected to get minutes and an unbeaten home record against Villarreal to protect, Arsenal should have more than enough to edge this one.
Meanwhile, the Villarreal lack of cutting edge has held them back all summer, and their winless streak looks likely to continue. Hence, our Arsenal vs Villarreal prediction is Arsenal to win.
