Europe - Champions League

by Kennedy Kechula | in Champions League Predictions
Tottenham Hotspur have been on some sort of roller coaster in the past year. They haven't enjoyed on-pitch stability that most teams in the Champions League have, but here they are, competing in the same tournament. The north London side will kick off their return to the apex of European club football with a home match against Valencia. We have a prediction for this match below.
For the first time since 2011/12, Spurs are taking part in Europe without either of their iconic forwards, Son Heung-min or Harry Kane. Their long-serving chairman Daniel Levy is also out of the club, and there’s a new man making his European bow in Thomas Frank, the manager. The English side enters the Champions League as winners of last season’s Europa League.
Villarreal would also have missed out in other circumstances, having finished fifth in La Liga last season. They qualified courtesy of Spain earning a fifth slot in the Champions League. Unlike his opposite number, Villarreal manager Marcelino has been in charge of 49 UEFA games.

Tottenham - Villarreal: Form Analysis
Tottenham will have the privilege of hosting their first-ever meeting with Villarreal. The hosts have poor records to wipe through such matches. They have only won once in the last 13 matches against Spanish opposition.
Key to bettering such a stat will be Spurs’ scoring form. The English side hasn’t had a problem on that front, with the notable example being their latest outing.
They are coming from a 3-0 hammering on West Ham United, marking their third win in five matches. Spurs failed to score once in the five matches but netted at least twice in each of the rest.
Spurs lost on penalties to PSG in the UEFA Super Cup after losing a 2-0 lead in the game.
Villarreal’s fast start to the season has died down, and they will be coming into this game off a two-game winless run. Just like their hosts, the Spaniards will hope to wipe away some unwanted record.
They have faced English sides 14 times in the Champions League but remain winless. This, therefore, is a golden chance to address such, especially after losing each of the last seven.
The motivation has to come from within, as well as the need to bounce back after their 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid last time out.

Tottenham & Villarreal Squad Analysis
There have been changes at Tottenham, and among the notable ones is the signing of Randal Kolo Muani. The Frenchman, who featured for Juventus last season, is actually on loan from PSG, and he brings forth massive experience.
He has featured for four different clubs in the Champions League in the last three years, and Spurs would do well with his presence in attack.
Scorer of eight goals in Serie A last season, Muani was also massive for Juventus at the Club World Cup, netting twice and commanding an xG of 2.31. He was on the bench in Spurs’ demolition of West Ham and could get his debut in midweek.
In the match against Villarreal, Spurs are set to miss up to six key players due to injury.
Villarreal also added to their ranks a big asset in attack by signing Georgian international Georges Mikautadze. The forward, arriving from France, was a massive hit for Olympique Lyon in the Europa League last season.
He had direct contribution to nine goals, all coming within five matches. After playing full-time in Lyon’s opening two matches this season and scoring once, Mikautadze made the switch.
His debut didn’t go as expected, with Villarreal losing 2-0 to Atletico Madrid. With Gerard Moreno still nursing a hamstring injury, Mikautadze will get another chance to lead the Yellow Submarines’ attack.
Making his Champions League debut, Mikautadze will hope to carry his 3.69 xG rating from last season’s Europa League.

Our Tottenham vs Villarreal Prediction
These two sides had flying starts to the season, but it is Spurs who come into this game with the right momentum. Playing at home, and coming from a comfortable win at West Ham United are among the factors to motivate the hosts.
Spurs haven't just blown teams away but have done so while keeping clean sheets. Basically, it has been rare seeing both teams on the score sheet in Spurs’ matches. Only one of their five this season returned goals on both ends, and the same is the case in Villarreal’s opening four matches. Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Villarreal is: BTTS – No.
