Liverpool vs. Villarreal: Surprise Victor Munoz odds to back for Champions League clash

After coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 in the Premier League at the Gtech Community Stadium last weekend, Liverpool return to Champions League action against Villarreal at Anfield.

The Reds have won both games in the league phase so far, and will be aiming to continue their perfect run against a Villarreal side who beat Napoli 3-1 on home soil in matchday two of the competition.

One player who could make the difference for Liverpool is Victor Munoz, who netted his second goal for the Reds in their win against Brentford.

Here is why you should back Munoz to score anytime at 13/5 (3.60).

Liverpool vs. Villarreal: Back Munoz to score anytime at 13/5 (3.60)

Munoz has been a revelation since joining Liverpool from Osasuna this summer.

The winger boasts two goals and one assist in seven Premier League appearances, and he has also featured in both Champions League games.

Munoz has certainly passed the eye test, and he has also had success against Liverpool's opponents on Tuesday night.

Indeed, the Spaniard scored in his previous appearance against Villarreal for Osasuna, although his team did not win the match.

Liverpool vs. Villarreal: Reds 4/7 (1.57) favourites to win

Liverpool are strong 4/7 (1.57) favourites to take home all three points, which also helps Munoz's cause.

Andoni Iraola's side are expected to have the majority of the ball, so Munoz should have plenty of chances to attack Villarreal's backline and get shots away.

However, he is only joint-ninth favourite with bookies to be on the scoresheet, which is surprising given his current form and ability.

Nonetheless, we feel the odds for Munoz to score are generous, and worth backing ahead of the tie.
