Latest Villarreal vs Juventus squad information
Villarreal are without defenders Willy Kambwala and Juan Foyth through injury, while Pau Navarro is with Spain at the U20 World Cup. Up front, Gerard Moreno (hamstring) and Ayoze Perez (adductor) are doubtful after missing the Athletic game.
Tajon Buchanan is Villarreal's top scorer in La Liga this season with three goals, but Perez – who scored 19 goals last season – is the perfect partner for Georges Mikautadze.
Juventus’s attack is a problem with three options: Jonathan David, Lois Openda and Dusan Vlahovic. In the match against Dortmund, Vlahovic entered the field in the 60th minute but directly participated in 3 goals, so he will likely be given a starting position.
Fabio Miretti remains absent with a thigh injury. Bremer (knee) and Khephren Thuram (calf) will be assessed closer to the hour, while Francisco Conceicao is back in full training and could start.
Villarreal vs Juventus latest expected lineup
Villarreal:
Junior; Mourino, Marin, Veiga, Cardona; Buchanan, Gueye, Comesana, Solomon; Pepe, Mikautadze
Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; Mario, Thuram, Locatelli, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David
Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Juventus
Villarreal are back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2021-22 season, when they reached the semi-finals, their best performance in the club’s history. The Yellow Submarine only secured their place thanks to an impressive late-season run, winning six games in a row to finish fifth in La Liga, and they have started this season with great enthusiasm.
After 7 rounds, Villarreal has 16 points, only behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Last weekend, they beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 to consolidate their position in the top group.
However, the European campaign has not started smoothly. Goalkeeper Luiz Junior had an unfortunate own goal as Villarreal lost at Tottenham, so their first home game against Juventus is crucial if they are to accumulate points.
Despite losing just one of their last nine European home games, mostly in the Europa League, Villarreal have won just two of their last 12 Champions League games at El Madrigal. One of those was a 1-1 draw with Juventus three years ago in the round of 16, before they won 4-1 on aggregate.
As for Juventus, last season they only finished 20th in the group stage and were eliminated by PSV in the play-off round, so the top goal this season is to enter the top 8 to go straight to the round of 16.
The Turin team had just experienced a dramatic opening match of the Champions League: a 4-4 draw with Dortmund. They equalized twice in the second half, then fell behind 2-4 in injury time, but Dusan Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly scored two incredible goals in the last minute to save 1 point.
Despite the emotional impact of the spectacular comeback, Juventus have only extended their poor run of form in this competition, having won just six of their last 20 Champions League matches.
Igor Tudor's side then cooled off with two 1-1 draws in Serie A against Verona and Atalanta. In the last match, they dominated Atalanta but needed a 78th-minute equaliser from Juan Cabal to earn a point, currently sitting fourth in Serie A.
