Bayern Munchen v Villarreal 12.04.2022 betting tips

A look at Villarreal’s away form would suggest that going over 3.5 goals for this bet is ambitious. We would suggest that Bayern Munich’s home form is a better steer as to what might happen. They’ve gone over 3.5 goals in half of their last 10 home matches with a game average of 3.8 goals. FC Bayern München won 4 of their last 6 matches, lost 1 match and 1 match ended in a draw. Villarreal won 3 of their last 6 matches, lost 2 matches and 1 match ended in a draw.

Arnaut Danjuma‘s finish sees Unai Emery‘s side make the journey holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg, but attempting to hold onto that slender advantage at the Allianz Arena is no mean feat.

Matches with Bayern Munich have usually been entertaining affairs recently with a lot of goalmouth action being a real hallmark. Over their past six clashes, the sum total of 21 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 17 of those coming from Bayern Munich.

The trend of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Villarreal has become apparent recently. A glance at their last 6 meetings reveals that this has happened 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal tally of 4 and Villarreal have scored 6. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, of course.

Last week’s opening leg fixture was the first meeting between the sides. Villarreal come out on top 1-0 at Estadio de la Cerámica. Arnaut Danjuma scored the only goal for the Yellow Submarine in the eighth minute.
