Final Betting Analysis: Villareal at Liverpool

Villareal is a good soccer club. The team won last season’s Europa League. Coach and manager Unai Emery is as solid as it gets. He knows how to prepare his team to beat more classy opponents.

So we shouldn’t expect Villareal to lie down in this match. But although Villareal is a good soccer club, Liverpool might be the best soccer team on the planet.

Pool not only dominated Man United in their last 5, but they also drew with Man City at Etihad Stadium and beat the Citizens in an FA Cup Semifinal. 

Liverpool is rolling in every way imaginable. Every player on the team is in excellent form. We shouldn’t expect much from Villareal and we should expect a ton from Liverpool.

Pool exposes Villareal for what they are, a very good soccer team, but not Champions League Finals material. Liverpool wins this by at least 2 goals. 

Champions League Pick: Liverpool -1 ½
