Tuesday | 19:00 UTC | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | UEFA Champions League

Thomas Frank’s Spurs begin their Champions League journey at home to Villarreal, with both sides looking to make an early statement in Europe. Spurs are odds-on favourites, but Villarreal’s strong record against English clubs makes this a fascinating clash.

Tottenham vs Villarreal Prediction

Tottenham’s transformation under Thomas Frank has been impressive, winning three of their opening four league games, including a dominant 3-0 win away at West Ham. Despite inheriting a squad that flirted with relegation, Spurs arrive in Europe as Europa League holders thanks to Ange Postecoglou’s success last season.

Villarreal, fifth in La Liga last term, return to the Champions League for the first time since their 2021 semi-final run. Marcelino’s side lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid at the weekend but remain a disciplined and dangerous unit, led by new striker Georges Mikautadze.

Both teams carry attacking threats and look vulnerable at the back, making goals the likeliest route for bettors.
