On Wednesday, one of the earlier UEFA Champions League fixtures comes our way from Estadio de la Ceramica, where Villarreal and Copenhagen will clash in a battle between two teams looking to improve after rather poor starts to the competition. The hosts, following no wins, one tie and four losses, find themselves down in a disappointing 34th place, from which they seemingly have little hope of making the knockouts. If the Yellow Submarine is to feature in the knockout play-off game then a win here is a must.
In a slightly better yet still poor position, the visitors also find themselves outside of the top 24, but they are three points closer to the play-off places than their hosts, and if they Danes can get a positive result here, all will not be lost. Last time out in this competition, they won and they'll now be looking to build on that.

Our Villarreal vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
The hosts have struggled in the UCL this season, but they do arrive here in fine home form having won each of their last three home games, scoring eight goals in the process. Nicolas Pepe hasn't scored during that run, but the Ivorian continues to look very hungry, shooting six times in his last two starts.
In all competitions this season, no Villarreal player has taken more shots than Pepe, who averages 2.33 per 90 minutes in the UCL. Against a weak Copenhagen defense that has been ripped apart a couple of times on the road in the UCL this season, Pepe will be keen to get in on the act and the sheer fact that we know he gets forward and shoots plenty makes him appeal as a scorer bet.
Our Villarreal vs Copenhagen Pick: Nicolas Pepe to Score.
