Methodology

Match analysis

Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five, three goals at LASK on 14 October and three at home to Manchester City three days earlier, and that is the opening for Superior's pick, Villarreal over 0.5 goals, on Tuesday. Villarreal scored three in each of their last three wins, the 3-1 over Napoli on 13 October among them.

Villarreal drew blanks against Elche and Real Madrid

Villarreal drew 0-0 with Elche on Saturday and lost 1-0 at Real Madrid on 10 October, two blanks that would have beaten this bet, and Liverpool's 1-0 win at Bournemouth in September is the one game in their run where the defence held. Villarreal still average 1.8 goals a game, and their attack rating of 6.4 is close to the 6.6 defence rating Liverpool carry. The two Champions League meetings in 2022 went 2-0 and 3-2 to Liverpool, and Villarreal scored twice in the second of them, at home in May.
