Villareal will host Bayern Munich on Wednesday for their Champions League quarterfinals clash. Both sides will be looking to get an edge in the first leg. Villareal stunned Juventus in the round of 16 in order to earn their place in the quarterfinals, defeating the Italian giants 3-0 in Italy to secure the aggregate advantage. After a surprising tie in their first-leg matchup against RB Salzburg, Bayern Munich stomped all over the Austrian side 7-1 in order to secure its spot in the next round. It will be crucial for Villareal to try and keep things close on their home turf, though it will be no easy task against one of the most dominant attacking teams in the world.

With that in mind, here is all the information fans need regarding the Champions League clash on Wednesday, including Bayern Munich vs Villareal start time, predictions, and how to watch the Champions League.

Bayern Munich vs Villareal Champions League Predictions

While Villareal has enjoyed a tremendous run to reach the Champions League quarterfinals, the matchup against Bayern Munich doesn't bode well for the Spanish side. Villareal enters play on the heels of back-to-back losses, during which they failed to score a single goal. A 1-0 La Liga defeat against Cadiz and a 2-0 loss to Levante leave the club in seventh place in the league table. They'll need a far better showing on Wednesday if they hope to contain the dominant Bayern Munich attack, particularly world-renowned goalscorer Robert Lewandowski.

Scoring a pair of goals, or even a hat-trick, is light work for Lewandowski, who is capable of producing such heroics within a single half. He's been in excellent form throughout the Champions League, scoring 12 goals and providing 3 assists in just 8 matches. He'll once again be Bayern's X-factor on Wednesday, and should be able to find the back of the net at least once against the Spanish side.

We're predicting Bayern to press the attack early and look to get an advantage within the opening 15 minutes, before maintaining pressure and suffocating Villareal for the remainder of the game. Unless Villareal is able to rediscover the form that had them cruising earlier in the season, they're in line for a rough outing against Germany's most prolific side. In order for Villareal to have a chance, Arnaut Danjuma and Gerard Moreno will need to find a way to break through Bayern's back line, though they'll likely be struggling to even gain possession of the ball for much of the game. Bayern should win this game handily and show all of Europe that they're a true threat to win the Champions League this year.
