Despite their historical prowess at home against French opposition and 7 games unbeaten streak, overturning such a deficit seems daunting. However, Villarreal’s resilience at El Madrigal could spark a comeback.
Marseille:
Marseille who have conceded a goal in each of their last 10 matches, enters the second leg with a commanding lead, courtesy of their clinical performance in the first encounter. Spearheaded by the prolific Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marseille’s attacking prowess poses a significant threat to Villarreal’s aspirations of progression.
