Prediction: Villarreal 1-2 Man City
Villarreal will be looking to bounce back after three games without a win, including a disappointing draw against Betis. Man City, fresh from a victory against Everton courtesy of a Haaland brace, will be aiming for a strong response after their manager expressed dissatisfaction with the team's recent performances. The Citizens are expected to win, although perhaps by a smaller margin than their 3-0 victory at El Madrigal back in 2011/12.

With Haaland in impressive form, having scored 20 goals in his last 10 appearances, backing him to open the scoring seems a solid bet. Man City will likely look to exploit Villarreal's defensive vulnerabilities, and Haaland's clinical finishing could prove to be the difference.
