Villarreal vs Dynamo Kiev Predictions

• Villarreal have won all four of their home matches in this season’s Europa League.
• Dynamo Kiev have only won one of their last six Europa League away games.
• Villarreal have not conceded in any of their three previous meetings with Dynamo Kiev.

Smooth progress for Yellow Submarine

Villarreal look well positioned to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after claiming a 2-0 victory during last week’s first-leg in Kiev.

The Yellow Submarine have won all their home matches in this season’s Europa League, keeping clean-sheets in two of those four games, while they have only lost twice at the Estadio de la Ceramica across all competitions this term.

Unai Emery’s side also boast an impressive record against Dynamo Kiev, as not only are they unbeaten in their three previous meetings, but they are also yet to concede a goal.

Dynamo Kiev did claim a 1-0 victory at Club Brugge in the previous round of this season’s Europa League, but that is their only win from their last six away games in the competition.

Mircea Lucescu’s side also picked up just one point from their three away matches in this season’s Champions League group stage.

The Ukrainian’s have a particularly poor record away to Spanish opposition, as they have only once before won in Spain and that was 24 years ago against Barcelona in the Champions League.

We cannot see Dynamo’s long wait for another victory in Spain ending on Thursday, as we are predicting Villarreal to win to nil, with our overall score prediction being for a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
