Villarreal host Napoli at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday night, kick-off 8pm, and our Villarreal vs Napoli predictions and betting tips lean to the hosts as two sides chasing their first points of the campaign collide.
Our Villarreal vs Napoli predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs a low-scoring home win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Pape Gueye to win 2+ fouls | 4/5 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Pape Gueye has won at least two fouls in six of his eight La Liga games this season, 16 in total, and opponents have struggled to stop him without bringing him down. The midfielder is at the heart of everything Villarreal do in possession, and Napoli will be desperate to press after a 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal on matchday one. As a result, expect plenty of contact in the middle of the park. Gueye to win two or more fouls pays 4/5. |
| Juan Foyth to be shown a card | 4/1 (Sky Bet) | Juan Foyth has picked up two bookings in four La Liga appearances, picking up cards in the away games at Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid. The defender must handle a Napoli side who need a result after losing their opener, and European nights against quick forwards rarely make life easy for full-backs. In addition, with half of his league outings ending with a yellow card this season, Foyth picking up a card at 4/1 with Sky Bet is our pick. |

How Villarreal go into the game
Villarreal opened with a 3-2 defeat at Borussia Dortmund but showed plenty going forward in a narrow loss.
The hosts are formidable at the Estadio de la Ceramica and will fancy their chances of a first win here.
How Napoli go into the game
Napoli lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal on matchday one and arrive still searching for their first goal and point.
The Italians carry a threat but have work to do on the road against a lively Villarreal side.
Villarreal vs Napoli head-to-head
The clubs have no competitive history, meeting for the first time in the league phase.
