Both Villarreal and FC Copenhagen are outside of the Champions League play-off positions. The Spanish are 34th in the league phase with their opponents five places and three points above them. Can they beat Copenhagen at home? Read our match prehdiction below.
Villarreal's only point so far came in a home draw against Juventus. Three defeats have followed and they find themselves five points adrift of the final unseeded play-off position. As you will read in the form section of this preview, their Champions League performances have been well below their La Liga results. With this game being followed by a home match against bottom-placed Ajax and a trip to Bayer Leverkusen, three points are really needed here.
FC Copenhagen are only a couple of points behind the unseeded play-off places. They boosted their qualification hopes with a home win in their last Champions League game but current form isn't good. With Napoli and Barcelona to play, they desperately need something here.

Villarreal - FC Copenhagen: Form Analysis
Villarreal are third in La Liga but only have two teams below them in the league phase. Only one point has been earned from their five games. That came in a 2-2 home draw with Juventus and needed a 90th minute equalizer to get a draw.
Their other four games have been lost against Tottenham, Manchester City, Pafos and most recently, a 4-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund. Five points separate them from the unseeded play-off positions with only three games to play.
Two vital home games for Villarreal.
With this match being followed by the visit of bottom-of-the-table Ajax, Villarreal will be aiming for a couple of home wins. They need to repeat their La Liga home form that has produced seven wins and a draw this season, including a 2-0 win over Getafe at the weekend.
FC Copenhagen have won one of their five games in this league phase. They had to wait until their fifth match to secure that, beating Kairat 3-2 at home. Their only other point came in a 2-2 home draw with Bayer Leverkusen.
On the road, the Danes have lost at Qarabag and Tottenham without scoring a goal. The weekend saw them lose for the third time in four games in the Danish Superliga, failing to score in each defeat.

Villarreal & FC Copenhagen Squad Analysis
The Yellow Submarine badly need to win this home game. They will have to do so without the services of defendr Juan Foyth. He was sent off in their 4-0 Champions League loss at Borussia Dortmund and is suspended for the visit of FC Copenhagen. Rafa Marin may replace him in defence.
Injury problems for Valencia.
Valencia also have some injury problems to contend with. Gerard Moreno missed their most recent game against Getafe and will need a fitness test before this match. Ilias Akhomach could be in the starting line-up, playing in a wide position.
FC Copenhagen also has a player missing for disciplinary reasons. Lukas Lerager was booked against Kairat. That made it three yellow cards in this league phase so he is unable to play on Wednesday.
The Danish club have several players out injured at present. Oliver Hojer, Magnus Mattsson and Rodrigo Huescas will all be absent. if they do fall behind, we're likely to see substitute Youssoufa Moukoko come on. He's scored eight goals for Copenhagen this season.

Our Villarreal vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
Villarreal have won five of their last six games. The other was a 4-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund. They are going well in La Liga and need to transfer that form to the Champions League sooner rather than later. Two successive home fixtures need to produce six points.
FC Copenhagen have at least won one match in the league phase but their current form is not good. Another league game was lost at the weekend and they are struggling up front. Our main Villarreal v FC Copenhagen prediction is Villarreal wins.
