Villarreal host PSG at Estadio de la Cerámica in the Champions League, and on paper this is a mismatch. The defending champions are top of the table, and the hosts are scrapping to stay in contention.
Villarreal sit 19th, and their only European win so far came against Napoli. A back line that has shipped eight Champions League goals is hardly built for this kind of visitor.
PSG have taken maximum points so far, scoring 14 Champions League goals along the way. In the Villarreal vs PSG betting odds, AK Bets have them at 8/11, and that looks fair.
PSG are unbeaten in their last 13 Champions League matches, and even without Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia they have the depth to extend that run. Villarreal need points to keep their qualification hopes breathing.
Villarreal vs PSG Form
Villarreal have won 4 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, which is middling at best. Europe has been rougher. They raced into an early lead at Liverpool and still lost 4-3, a result that summed up a side who attack with conviction and defend as if it were optional. Tani Oluwaseyi and Santiago Mouriño have both chipped in with goals.
PSG have won 9 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, and the run spans all competitions. In Europe they have been relentless, beating Barcelona 4-2 to keep their perfect record intact. With Dembélé out, Désiré Doué is the man to watch, while Fabián Ruiz keeps pulling the strings in the engine room with his line-breaking passing.
Villarreal vs PSG Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Villarreal: Juan Foyth (Injured/out), Nathan Saliba (Injured/out), Alassane Diatta (Injured/out), Ilias Akhomach (Injured/doubtful), Gerard Moreno (Injured/doubtful)

Villarreal
The Villarreal vs PSG lineups start with a lengthy home absentee list. Iñigo Pérez is without Nathan Saliba, Juan Foyth and Alassane Diatta, while Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach are doubts who are expected to miss out. Péter Gulácsi should continue in goal behind a back four that includes Santiago Mouriño, who has been a monster in duels, winning 7.3 per 90 minutes since the start of last season. Georges Mikautadze and Tani Oluwaseyi should lead the line.
PSG
Luis Enrique is without Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé. Losing Dembélé hurts most, as he has scored three goals in this season's Champions League. Matvey Safonov should start in goal, with João Neves, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz forming the midfield trio. Désiré Doué, Ferran Torres and Mika Godts make up the front three.

Villarreal vs PSG Bet Builder
Our Villarreal vs PSG bet builder tips back PSG's firepower and a messy night for Villarreal's discipline, with Vitinha to score and Santiago Mouriño going into the book.
PSG Over 3.5 Total Away Goals. PSG have scored 4+ goals in 3 of their last 3 Champions League matches, and an injury-hit Villarreal defence offers little reason to expect a change.
Vitinha Anytime Goalscorer. The midfielder has scored in 2 of his last 3 matches, and with Dembélé absent the goals have to come from somewhere else in this side.
Santiago Mouriño To Be Shown A Card. He has picked up five bookings in nine appearances since the start of last season, and PSG's wide threat will keep him busy all night.
Villarreal Over 1.5 Total Home Team Cards. This line has landed in 3 of Villarreal's last 3 matches, and a night spent chasing PSG's possession game adds to the case for bookings.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 75/2 and is as short as 34/1 elsewhere.

Villarreal vs PSG Talking Points
Luis Enrique has been banging the drum about complacency, insisting that past European wins guarantee nothing, and Willian Pacho said the squad cannot afford to be overconfident. They have their reasons, because last season PSG made a flying start in this competition and then stalled badly. Their record on Spanish turf is reassuring, though, with Luis Enrique's side unbeaten in four Champions League away matches against La Liga opponents. For Villarreal, the question is whether they can get in behind PSG's attacking full-backs. Georges Mikautadze scored the opener against both Napoli and Liverpool, and if the hosts strike first again, this gets messy in a hurry.
