Villarreal – Manchester City Prediction Champions League, Matchday 3 on Tuesday, 10/21/25 at 9:00 p.m.
I don’t think there are two opinions: Manchester City are the favorites going into their Champions League Matchday 3 clash with Villarreal CF. For most experts, the Citizens are undoubtedly among the top contenders for the title.
In my Villarreal Manchester City prediction, however, I don’t expect the Skyblues to come away from Spain completely unscathed. With the “Both teams to score” bet at odds of around 1.60 at Interwetten, I am of course leaving the door open for a favorite win.
The Spaniards should be able to score at least one goal. Villarreal has scored a total of five goals in its last three games. The 2-2 draw on the second matchday of the Champions League also showed that they can compete at a higher level.

The second selection is also interesting. Here, the AI is betting on a “draw at halftime.” The odds of around 2.30 are acceptable, assuming that Villarreal will put up resistance from the start in front of their home crowd. Keep in mind that the Spanish team has lost only one of its last six games.
The AI also has its sights set on a player bet. “Haaland to score” is worth considering at odds of around 1.70 at Interwetten Mobile.
The Norwegian is currently scoring goals left, right, and center. After eight Premier League matchdays, he has already scored eleven goals. The former Dortmund player has also scored three times in the Champions League.
