Live Villarreal vs Porto betting odds tips result and preview – UEFA Europa League Tips – 05-05-2011

On Thursday we will find out if two Portuguese teams will be playing in UEFA Europa League final this season.

Villarreal suffered 5-1 defeat at the hands of Porto in the first-leg match. It looks like everything is over for the Spanish side. Young Porto’s coach Andre Villas-Boas is confident that his team will be able to keep the advantage and go for a win in this match. He also pointed out that his team will not give up on their attacking style: “We will play our style of football and our philosophy: 4-3-3 with an attacking outlook, as we have been doing all season. Nothing is impossible and anything can happen in football but I have full confidence in my team. We are physically and mentally prepared for any situation in the game, as shown by our experience against big teams in big stadiums. I hope that if victory is achieved it becomes a victory for the whole country, and pride for all the players who form this team.”

If we look at the UEFA Europa League odds for this match, it is very unlikely that Villarreal stand any chance of reaching the final. However, Brazilian international and Villarreal’s striker Nilmar thinks different. The Yellow Submarine will have to stage a miraculous come back at El Madrigal where they have a 100 percent record in seven UEFA Europa League games this season in which they scored 20 goals and conceding just three. Nilmar said: “It will be very difficult, but we must just focus on scoring one goal at a time, not getting ahead of ourselves. The match is only over when the referee blows his whistle and Porto will not be relaxing. They will come out looking for the victory. We need to be tough when we go out onto the pitch and show the kind of quality football we’ve played the whole season. We are professionals so we know what we are up against but after the last game at home in the Liga [a 2-1 win against Getafe on Sunday] we have faith in ourselves. We must give our all, play 90 minutes of good football and make the most of our chances.”
