Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Osasuna on Marcelino’s return to Villarreal, the Yellow Submarine will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Panathinaikos in round 5 of the Europa League group stages.
Veteran Jose Luis Morales, who scored a hat-trick at the weekend, should keep his place up front as a lone forward, while all Sorloth, Mandi, Suarez, and Coquelin are likely to miss out with injuries.
PAO, on the other hand, aim to climb to second place in the standings, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered.
Villarreal are hungry for revenge and we predict that they will get one with the new boss Marcelino, who is surely capable of bringing glory days back to Estadio de la Ceramica.
As for the away team, all Juankar, Magnusson, and Palmer-Brown remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Serbia international Filip Djuricic should be recalled to the starting XI.
This match will be played on 30/11/2023 at 21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Recommended Pick: Villarreal to Win.
