Match Facts
This will be the first time that Pafos – managed by a Spaniard in Juan Carlos Carcedo – have faced a Spanish opponent in European competition.
The only Cypriot opponent that Villarreal have previously faced in Europe is Apollon Limassol, who they beat home (4-0) and away (2-0) in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League in 2014-15.
The last UEFA Champions League match between Cypriot and Spanish sides was a 6-0 win for Real Madrid against APOEL Nicosia in November 2017. Indeed, the last six matches between teams from those nations in the competition have been won by the Spaniards for an aggregate score of 22-2.
Pafos are on their longest winless run in major European competition (four games – D2 L2), and have failed to score in three of those four matches. They are yet to lead at any point of a UEFA Champions League match this season; one of only five sides to fail to do so across the opening three matchdays.
Villarreal have lost 11 of their last 16 matches in the group/league phase of the UEFA Champions League (W3 D2), while their only clean sheet across those games came in a 2-0 home win versus Young Boys in November 2021.
Pafos have faced 66 shots across their three UEFA Champions League match this season (five goals conceded); the most of any side. Although they have not led at any point in a game so far, they’ve spent the longest percentage of their match time level (73% - 211 minutes overall).
Villarreal have been trailing on the scoreboard for 71 percent of their game time in the UEFA Champions League this season (losing for 204:39 in total). Through the first three matchdays of this season’s tournament, only Ajax (86%) were behind for a higher percentage of their matches.
Pafos have recorded the fewest high turnovers (7) of any side in the UEFA Champions League this season, while opponents Villarreal had the joint-fourth fewest (14) across the opening three matchdays.
Defender David Luiz has had the most shots inside the box (4) and touches in the opposition box (5) of any Pafos player in the UEFA Champions League this season, as well as leading the Cypriot side for expected goals (0.79).
Nicolas Pépé has created 11 chances for Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League this season, with only Real Madrid pair Kylian Mbappé (16) and Arda Güler (12) creating more across the opening three matchdays of the current edition.
