Villarreal vs Panathinaikos Latest News, Team Information, and Lineups
Villarreal
The Spanish team has replaced its coach of two months Pacheta with Marcelino. He will be already the team's third coach this season. Villarreal has been struggling this season in La Liga holding onto the 12th spot at the moment with only four victories in 14 matches played. However, they could finish Group F of the Europa League on top if they win their next three games. Aissa Mandi, Yeremi Pino, Alexander Sorloth, Denis Suarez, Francis Coquelin, and Matteo Gabbia are out.
Predicted lineup: Jorgensen, Pedraza, Cuenca, Albiol, Foyth, Capoue, Baena, Parejo, Altimira, Morales, Moreno.
Panathinaikos
The Greek league leaders are hoping that the latest turbulence inside Villarreal's locker room will cost them dearly. Still, Panathinaikos will have to win the game in Spain to have any chance of advancing further in the Europa League, or at least secure the continuation of their European journey through the Conference League. Erik Palmer-Brown and Hordur Magnusson are injured.
Predicted lineup: Brignoli, Kotsiras, Schenkeveld, Jedvaj, Mladenovic, Arao, Gnezda Cerin, Bernard, Verbic, Mancini, Ioannidis.
Player to Watch: Gerard Moreno
By far the best player for Villareal this season has been Gerard Moreno. The veteran center-forward has scored eight goals in twelve La Liga matches, but thus far failed to get on the scoresheet in the Europa League. There is a good explanation for that fact as he barely played in a single game he was available.
Moreno has been a footballer since joining Villareal's youth setup over a decade ago and eventually was sent to the senior squad. However, he moved to Mallorca and then Espanyol before rejoining Villareal five years ago. He has made 254 appearances for Villareal while scoring 114 goals and delivering 41 assists.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
