Villarreal host FC Copenhagen at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Wednesday in a Round 6 tie of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League group stage. With qualification hopes still alive for both clubs, this fixture is a classic test of Villarreal’s attacking fluency at home and Copenhagen’s ability to blunt top-five league sides on the road. Both teams arrive with contrasting narratives: Villarreal are desperate to convert strong domestic form into European points, while Copenhagen have struggled to dominate the Danish Superliga this season as they had in previous campaigns.
Villarreal team overview
Villarreal have produced strong results domestically: in La Liga they sit among the top positions (currently 3rd), with a high points-per-game rate and an especially robust home record, where they have been difficult to break down. As things stand, they are genuinely in contention to challenge Spain’s two giants - FC Barcelona and Real Madrid - as they remain only five points off the top of the league table and hold a game in hand.
However, their Champions League trajectory has been stuttering. A surprise 1-0 defeat away to Pafos in November left Villarreal with limited points in the group and increased pressure heading into Round 6. They remain one of six teams yet to win a single game in this season’s Champions League group phase, but a much-needed victory on Wednesday would put them within reach of the qualification playoffs with two more games left to play.

FC Copenhagen team overview
FC Copenhagen arrive as Danish champions aiming to translate domestic pedigree into European solidity. This season, however, they have struggled significantly to maintain their champion status in the Danish Superliga: they are currently 12 points behind league leaders AGF and sit only in fifth place. Even more concerning, Copenhagen have lost back-to-back league matches - 0-2 to Sønderjyske and 0–2 to AGF - meaning they have now suffered three defeats in their last four Superliga outings.
Somewhat surprisingly, their Champions League campaign has been more stable. They have collected four points from their first five matches, and a win on Wednesday would place them in a strong position to advance among the top 24 teams, at least for the time being.

Prediction
This is a game where the margins will be fine. Villarreal’s superior home record and strong domestic form give them a clear edge on paper, although Copenhagen’s 3-2 win over Kairat in the previous Champions League round may provide a much-needed boost in confidence. Still, the Danish champions have found it difficult to score even in the domestic league - failing to find the net in three of their last four outings - and given Villarreal’s impressive home record, during which they have kept a clean sheet in 63% of their matches, this tie leans towards another scoreless night for FC Copenhagen.
Prediction: BTTS - NO.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- FC Copenhagen have failed to score in three of their last four Danish Superliga matches, which is indicative of their poor attacking form.
- Villarreal have kept a clean sheet in 63% of their home matches this season.
- FC Copenhagen have failed to score in the first two Champions League away matches (0-2 vs Qarabag and 0-4 vs Tottenham.
