This is the first leg of the quarter final and the match will be played at Estadio de la Cerámica in Spain. Villarreal come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Levante on the weekend in La Liga. Levante were bottom of the table prior to the match and Villarreal were the favourites to take maximum points.

However, Levante scored two goals in the final 20 minutes of the game to claim all three points. That result means Villarreal have lost their two most recent matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Cadiz in La Liga. In fact, Villarreal have lost three of their last five fixtures but one of the two victories in those five games came at Juventus in the Champions League. The Yellow Submarine stunned the Italian giants to win 3-0 and progress to the quarter final.

Form in the Champions League shows Villarreal are undefeated in five of their last six matches in the competition. However, they have been struggling to win home games in the Champions League, recoding just a single victory from their last eight on home soil.

Keeping a clean sheet has been a problem for Villarreal and they have conceded goals in seven of their eight most recent home Champions League matches.

Bayern München make the trip to the Estadio de la Cerámica having beat Freiburg 4-1 away in the Bundesliga on the weekend. In what had the makings of being a difficult game following the international break, the score was 1-1 going into the final 20 minutes but Bayern München went up a gear to score three goals and take maximum points.

That victory means Bayern München are undefeated in their eight most recent games in all competitions. That run includes a comprehensive 7-1 home win over RB Salzburg in the Champions League round of 16.

Team news and Villarreal are likely to be without injured full back Alberto Moreno, meaning Afonso Pedraza could play at left back. Moreno is the only injury concern for the hosts.

Bayern München travel without Eric Choupo-Moting due to Covid and Alphonso Davies, who is back in training. Corentin Tolisso is a doubt having come off in the match at Freiburg on the weekend.
