Pafos vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips (5 November)

Pafos is still chasing its first victory but has had the merit of losing only once so far after three days, quite logically against the steamroller of Bayern Munich 1-5. Against Olympiakos ten against eleven in Greece 0-0 and again ten in Kazakhstan against Kairat Almaty 0-0, Pafos managed to bring back two important points. We must now confirm with a victory today. In the league, everything is going well for the local team which has offered itself a series of five victories in a row while waiting for the clashes against Omonia and AEL Limassol to follow.

Villarreal did not inherit an easy draw by going to play at Tottenham during the 1st day defeat 1-0, against Juventus during J2 at home 2-2 and receiving Manchester City two weeks ago defeat 0-2. With 1 small point to his credit, the Yellow Submarine has probably said goodbye to the top 8 and will now have to concentrate on qualifying for the top 24 play-offs. In La Liga, Marcelino's men were at the top of the table and went to Mestalla to challenge Valencia and the reception of Rayo Vallecano last weekend, results to follow. 

For this day, Cape Verdean Joao Correia (still without a goal in the league this season) will be missing due to his expulsion against Kairat Almaty. Note that the Serbian international hopeful Ognjen Mimovic was not registered to compete in the competition in the same way as Alexandre Brito, the young Swede Wilmer Odefalk, the Greek goalkeeper Athnasios-Theologos Papadoudis and the young Brazilian defender Pedrao. The experienced Orsic will be in the mix like Quina (4 goals in the league), Anderson (3 goals in the league) and captain David Luiz (ex-PSG/Chelsea). Still on the flank, defenders Logan Costa (ex-TFC) and Kambwala will not play today any more than Pau Cabanes.

On paper, this Villarreal team is well thought out with a hinge probably made up of captain and Argentinian international Foyth and Renato Veiga (on loan from Chelsea). Higher up, the midfielders Moleiro and Buchanan or even experienced boys like Pape Gueye and Parejo without forgetting the offensive qualities brought by Georges Mikautadze, Nicolas Pepe, Gérard Moreno or even Ayoze Perez could be aligned. 

• Summary: Pafos FC U19 is going head to head with Villarreal U19 starting on 5 Nov 2025 at 12:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
