CHE vs VIL Dream11 Team Prediction

Villarreal won their first-ever European title in May. Manager Unai Emery is a serial winner in European ties, and Thomas Tuchel’s side will be wary of this fact. The Yellow Submarine is winless in their six pre-season games. They drew level with Leeds United last time out following a 3-2 loss at the hands of Leicester city.

Villarreal Starting XI (Likely)

Sergio Asenjo, Juan Foyth, Aissa Mandi, Raul Albiol, Alberto Moreno, Manuel Morlanes, Manu Trigueros, Yeremi Pino, Alfonso Pedraza, Paco Alcacer, Gerard Moreno

Captain Options

Kai Havertz has made a habit of popping up with important goals at big stages. The German played well in the second part of the season. In 18 appearances last season, he scored four goals and added three assists.

Gerard Moreno is the standout pick from the Spanish side. He had 23 goals and 7 assists in the league last year and a further 7 goals and 3 assists in the Europa League.

Differential Picks

Marcus Alonso could be an interesting differential pick. The left wing-back spends more time in the opposition box than his own. He gets into good goalscoring positions occasionally and never shies away from taking a shot.

However, there is a clear difference in quality between the two sides. The CHE vs VIL Today Match Prediction odds are in favor of Chelsea to get the win by a narrow margin.
