Manchester Utd – Villarreal : Preview & Prediction
Manchester United must win against Villareal on this second day a few days after their first misstep in Switzerland against the Young Boys of Bern (2-1). Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring but the Red Devils subsequently foiled after Wan-Bissaka was sent off. This second European meeting is already very important and MU must win to stay in the race for qualification. In the absence of injured Rashford, Cristiano Ronaldo will be the number one danger for the Spanish defense. The Portuguese international, although silent in front of Aston Villa (0-1) this weekend, remains on a good streak since the latter has scored 6 goals in his last 5 matches including a double against Ireland (2-1 ) with the Portuguese selection on September 1st. With the Mancunian club, the ex-scorer of Juventus Turin scored a brace against Newcastle (4-1) on September 11, then two goals in C1 in Switzerland in the first leg and at West Ham (2-1) on the 19th. September. With 30 goals in his last 37 Champions League matches, Cristiano Ronaldo has a very positive record and loves this competition where he has an exceptional success. In his last two seasons with Juventus Turin, the Portuguese had scored 4 goals per European campaign and the latter seems to be still in good shape at 36 years old and ready to make even more of the history of the Champions League. The top scorer in the history of the Champions League with 136 goals in 181 matches played will want to increase his lead a little more over his runner-up Lionel Messi (120 goals). CR7 runs at an average of 0.75 goals in this European competition and has the opportunity against the “yellow submarine” to improve its statistics in this C1.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 4 times in the last 4 matches for Manchester United.
