Villarreal Seeks First CL Win Against Undefeated Juventus
Villarreal CF welcomes Juventus to their home stadium for the second leg of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday. The Spanish side is eager to secure their first continental victory after falling short in their debut match against Tottenham. They are determined to prove their mettle against a formidable Juventus side and clinch a victory at home.
Villarreal has been in formidable form, winning their last four matches in La Liga, including a clean sheet in their most recent outing. They have also been unstoppable at home, winning their last four matches and conceding only a single goal while scoring ten. However, they face a stern test against Juventus, who are unbeaten but have drawn their last three matches in Serie A.
The home side will be without Juan Foyth, Ayoze Pérez, and Gerard Moreno due to injury. Javi Galan will step in to replace Ayoze Pérez. Villarreal's starting lineup includes Arnau Tenas, Mourinho, Rafa Marín, Veiga, Pedraza, Buchanan, Pape Gueye, Comesaña, Parejo, Pepe, and Mikautadze. Juventus' starting lineup features Perin, Kelly, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Koopmeiners, Locatelli, McKennie, Cabal, Yildiz, and David.
Villarreal CF and Juventus are set to clash in a pivotal Champions League encounter. While Villarreal seeks their first continental win, Juventus aims to maintain their undefeated streak. The result of this match could have a significant impact on the group's standings.
