Dinamo Minsk vs Villarreal Betting Tips

The two sides met only two weeks ago at El Madrigal. Villarreal made 6 changes for the game from their weekend fixture but cruised to a 4-0 win with Cedric Bakambu scoring twice. They’ve taken 4 points from their 2 leagues since then too with an important home win against Sevilla coming on Saturday so they approach this one in confident mood.

They are likely to make some changes again here but given they have already lost 1 game in the competition they can’t completely mix things up as European progression will certainly be regarded as important for Marcelino and his men. In an ideal world they would like to qualify prior to a tricky final game away to main qualification rivals Viktoria Plzen and they will be determined to take 6 points off the weakest side in the group.

Dinamo Minsk are yet to score or pick up a point in the group stages having gone down to 2-0 and 1-0 defeats against Viktoria and Rapid Vienna respectively prior to their defeat at Villarreal.

They failed to score at home to Belshina in the Belarusian top flight at the weekend and are well behind BATE at the top of the league so there is little to suggest that they are going to cause Villarreal any big problems here. The Yellow Submarine has kept clean sheets in 5 of their last 8 matches in all competitions and at 7/4 they are cracking value to win this game to nil.

They will have half an eye on a weekend trip to the Camp Nou and if they can get a 2 goal lead they may opt to take their foot of the gas a little and play out the game with a few pairs of fresh legs. They will be determined to win it though and a 2-0 scoreline in favour of the visitors looks worth backing at 7/1.
