Turning their attention back to Champions League action on Tuesday night, reigning European kings PSG will travel to Spain when they meet Villarreal.

With Europe’s elite club competition stealing all of the midweek attention, there are plenty of eye-catching Champions League betting promotions available.

Ahead of Tuesday’s showdown from the Estadio de la Ceramica, you can find all of the key Villarreal vs PSG H2H stats here.

Starting with the hosts, while Villarreal might have sprung a real Champions League upset at home against Italian giants Napoli on October 13th as they clinched a 3-1 victory at the Estadio de la Ceramica, Inigo Perez’s men have largely struggled to find any kind of stability so far this season. Last seen over the weekend putting in a toothless display as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home against Espanyol, the Yellow Submarine are bracing themselves for a monumental challenge when the reigning European champions arrive on Tuesday night. Last seen in Champions League action eventually falling to a thrilling 4-3 loss away at Liverpool, Villarreal have failed to register consecutive victories against top-flight opposition since returning from September’s extended international break. It should also be highlighted, Perez’s side have drawn back-to-back blanks in Castellon for the first time so far this calendar year.

Lasting just 18 minutes against Espanyol on Friday night before limping off with a reported muscle injury, Villarreal are sweating over the fitness of veteran marksman Gerard Moreno. However, despite currently serving a domestic suspension, Senegal international Pape Gueye will return to Perez’s squad here.

Bagging what turned out to be a consolation European strike at Anfield and registering three direct goal contributions in as many Champions League appearances so far, Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze should spearhead Villarreal’s attack. Former Chelsea youngster Renato Veiga will start at the heart of Perez’s defence on Tuesday night.

As for the visitors, joining an elite group back in May as they successfully defended their Champions League crown, PSG have their sights set on shattering even more European records this season. Gaining a fearsome reputation from across the globe, Luis Enrique’s superstar squad are firing on all cylinders. Last seen in European action making a major statement as they clinched a thrilling 4-2 victory against Spanish icons Barcelona, PSG are once again leading the chase at the top of the Champions League standings. Extending on their stellar purple patch over the weekend as they cruised their way to a 5-1 romp away at Le Havre, Tuesday’s guests have won each of their previous nine consecutive appearances across all competitions. Likewise, Enrique’s men have won all of their last five straight showdowns outside of Paris by an aggregate score of 15-5.

Successfully undergoing knee surgery last week, Georgian skipper Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Likewise, sustaining a muscle injury against Barcelona in Paris on October 20th, PSG will travel to Spain on Tuesday night without fellow attacking talisman Ousmane Dembele here.

Handed a full Ligue 1 rest over the weekend, French international Desire Doue will be handed a full recall and play a leading role in the final third. Likewise, the Portuguese duo of Joao Neves Vitinha will partner each other in the middle of the park.

Enjoying what has become a sensational purple patch on either side of September’s extended international break, PSG will simply be looking to make another Champions League statement on Tuesday night. Winning each of their opening three European showdowns by an aggregate score of 14-5, Enrique’s superstar squad have also gained a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Collecting a pair of heavyweight Champions League scalps over the past fortnight, PSG are rightfully installed as a standout contender on foreign soil.
