The Thrill of the Pre-Season Showdown
Key Stats
– Villarreal’s recent form: L, W, L, D, L
– Newcastle have an average of 15.0 total shots per game in the last season, signalling a potent attacking force.
In the crescendo of pre-season preparations, Premier League’s Newcastle United are geared up to lock horns with La Liga’s Villarreal. As Newcastle concludes their intense week with matches against Fiorentina and Villarreal, Villarreal aren’t far behind with their schedule, battling Nice a day before their game against the Magpies.
Newcastle’s Warm-Up to the New Season
The Magpies have showcased a diverse range of performances this summer. The team’s initial victories over Gateshead and Rangers set a positive momentum, which slightly wavered with draws against Aston Villa and Chelsea in the Premier League Summer Series. However, they regained their stride by triumphing over Brighton & Hove Albion during their U.S. tour.

With a commendable fourth-place finish in the last Premier League season, Newcastle’s return to the Champions League is highly anticipated. This enthusiasm is further amplified by the additions of Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes from AC Milan and Leicester City respectively, not to mention Yankuba Minteh’s signing, even though he’s loaned to Feyenoord for the season.
Villarreal’s Summer Revamp
Villarreal have been particularly active this summer, infusing their squad with new talent like Alexander Sorloth, Ramon Terrats, and Ben Brereton Diaz. The Yellow Submarine’s summer wasn’t all sunshine though; they faced a jarring 6-1 defeat against St Gallen, but later showcased resilience with a win against Rheindorf Altach.
Their upcoming season in La Liga is awaited with bated breath, especially with the hopes of repeating or surpassing their fifth-place finish last season. However, with the exits of vital players like Nicolas Jackson, Pau Torres, and Samuel Chukwueze, how the new squad integrates will be a spectacle.
Key Players to Watch
Elliot Anderson’s stellar performance, marked by his double against Brighton, positions him as a key player for Newcastle. Together with new entrant Barnes and the established Callum Wilson, the attacking force of Newcastle looks formidable.
Villarreal’s revamped attack with Sorloth and Brereton Diaz will be worth observing, with experienced midfielders Etienne Capoue and Dani Parejo supporting them. Parejo’s continued presence, amid speculations of his exit, offers stability to the team.
