Champions League Betting Preview: Villarreal vs FC Copenhagen

Spanish La Liga side Villarreal host Danish Superliga team FC Copenhagen at Estadio de la Ceramica, with kick-off set for 13:45 on Wednesday 10 December.

Villarreal Look Set to Cover the Line

Villarreal -1.25 at -108 look a good bet on the Asian Handicap. The home team will land a nice return if they achieve a two goal winning margin or bigger. A one goal win would mean we get half the stake returned.
