Villarreal vs Napoli: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Villarreal vs Napoli predicted formations

Villarreal host Napoli at Estadio de la Cerámica on Tuesday, October 13 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

Villarreal have no fresh team-news concerns to report, with Georges Mikautadze, Tajon Buchanan and Pape Gueye all in line to start after playing the full ninety minutes in their last outing, while defender Álvaro Mouriño — who scored and created a chance in that game — offers a different kind of threat from set pieces. Napoli travel with a clean bill of health too, built around Kevin De Bruyne in attacking midfield, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Mathías Olivera and Amir Rrahmani holding the back line together and Billy Gilmour screening in front of them.

    Potential Match-Winners

    • Álvaro Mouriño (Villarreal): The center-back scored and created a chance while playing the full ninety minutes last time out, marking him as a set-piece threat rather than an open-play one.
    • Tajon Buchanan (Villarreal): Buchanan was Villarreal’s most direct outlet, firing three shots — all on target — and creating three chances from seventy-five minutes on the field.
    • Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli): De Bruyne had Napoli’s clearest sight of goal, registering a shot on target and creating two chances across the full ninety minutes.

    Villarreal vs Napoli Prediction

    This looks set to be a cagey, low-scoring affair between two sides still searching for their first points. Villarreal’s platform at home, allied to Mouriño’s set-piece threat and Mikautadze’s link-up play, should be enough to see them edge it. Signal has this finishing 1-0 to Villarreal.
