"Starting with the hosts, last seen over the weekend putting in a routine display as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Getafe, Villarreal have won each of their previous eight consecutive domestic appearances and have embarked on a sensational La Liga romp. However, despite currently being sat in bronze medal position among Spain's elite, the Yellow Submarine are enduring a public domestic crisis."
"Putting in a woeful Champions League performance a fortnight ago as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming away at German giants Borussia Dortmund, Marcelino's men have put just a single point on the board from any of their first five European showdowns. Appearing to be in search of a real miracle in the race to book a knockout stage ticket, Villarreal face what is a must-win battle on Wednesday night."
Villarreal have won eight consecutive domestic matches and sit third in La Liga but have a single point from five Champions League games after a 4-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund. The club urgently needs a victory at home against FC Copenhagen to keep knockout hopes alive. Willy Kambwala remains sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury while Thomas Partey could return. Juan Foyth is suspended and Renato Viega will start at center back. Copenhagen have lost recently 2-0 to Sonderjyske and Aarhus and are lacking form and fluidity ahead of the trip.
