Manchester City have gone five Champions League away games without a win, but there are strong reasons to believe they can buck that trend when visiting Villarreal.
The Blues have won five of their last six group-stage matches against Spanish sides, while their opponents have suffered five consecutive defeats when facing English clubs in Europe.
Pep Guardiola’s men are available at 8/13 to prevail here, and that is our first Villarreal vs Man City prediction.

The Yellow Submarine were sunk by another Premier League outfit when beaten 1-0 at Tottenham on matchday one, with Luiz Junior’s early own goal doing the damage.
Villarreal then needed a last-gasp leveller from Renato Veiga to draw 2-2 with Juventus on home turf, and they have failed their two toughest domestic tests this term, losing 2-0 at Atletico Madrid and going down 3-1 when visiting Real Madrid.
Marcelino’s men did win their first four LaLiga games at Estadio de la Ceramica, but only beat predominantly moderate opposition, and fifth-placed Real Betis fought back from 2-0 down to draw at this venue on Saturday, thanks to a double from Antony.
Last season’s leading scorer was former Newcastle and Leicester forward Ayoze Perez, but he has been hampered by injuries this term and only returned from a month off as a second-half substitute at the weekend.
This is a match that could be dominated by the visitors, who are 15/8 to win by more than one clear goal in the Villarreal vs Man City odds.
Manchester City Form
Manchester City Form
City, who won 3-0 on their only previous visit to this venue in November 2011, have recovered well from a shaky start to the season, securing four wins and a draw at Arsenal from their last five Premier League fixtures.
Erling Haaland continued his incredible hot streak when bagging both goals in Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat of Everton, making it 23 strikes in just 13 appearances for club and country this term.
The Norway hitman has failed to find the net in only one of those games and has now scored in 11 matches in succession.
After beating the Toffees, Guardiola said: “He could have scored four or five at the end. He’s our key man, what can I say?”
City will be satisfied with a solid start to their Champions League campaign, beating Napoli 2-0 at home before drawing 2-2 away to Monaco, with Haaland netting three of their four goals in those games.
Let’s finish off our Villarreal vs Man City betting tips by taking 20/1 for Haaland to score first in a 2-0 away win.
