Villarreal are through to the knockout stage with 13 points and even if they were to lose to
in Poland, they would still finish as the group winners. The La Liga side will likely drop a number of key players, which will give Lech Poznan, who are in the 2nd position with 6 points, a chance to win at least in one half. The Polish side must beat Villarreal or hope Beer-Sheva don’t win over Austria Wien.
Both sides are good goalscoring sides and they are expected to once again display their attacking prowess on Thursday. Villarreal have scored 14 goals and conceded 6 while Poznan have managed 9 goals and conceded 7. The latter lack a bit at the back, which will play a part in forcing the game to end with over 2.5 goals.
Villarreal have conceded six goals in five matches, averaging 1.0 goals per game, which is enough for Poznan to get on the scoreboard. The Polish side have conceded 7 goals and coming up against a La Liga side that boasts 14 goals in five matches obviously means they aren’t keeping a clean sheet either.
Because Lech Poznan need a win to ensure their qualification to the next round lies on their hands, we are backing them to pull off an unlikely win, as they are the underdogs, but the away side to get on the scoresheet at full-time. This bet option has odds of 5.05 at 22bet.com.
Villarreal are the favourites to win the game against Lech Poznan but because it’s not a must-win game for the Spanish side, they may plan to finish the group stage without a defeat. They would instead settle for a draw or win by a tight margin and this bet has odds of 1.39 at 22bet.com.
