JAKARTA – Liverpool will undergo an away match for 2021/2022 European Champions League semifinal second leg to Villarreal headquarters at El Madrigal Stadium, Spain, on Wednesday, May 4 in the morning WIB.

Jurgen Klopp's side has already put one foot in the final after last week's 2-0 win in the first leg at Anfield. In that match, Liverpool appeared to dominate the match and it is possible they could do the same thing again at the opponent's headquarters, tonight.

At Anfield, the Yellow Submarine's defensive wall was surrounded for 90 minutes. Although Unai Emery's squad managed to keep a clean sheet in the first half, Klopp's team managed to find a gap in the second half and scored two goals in a row.

The first came after Jordan Henderson's cross forced Pervis Estupinan to score his own goal in the 53rd minute. The Reds then doubled their lead through Sadio Mane two minutes later.

The defeat from Liverpool apparently had a bad impact on Villarreal. The reason, is they immediately swallowed a 1-2 defeat against Alaves in a La Liga match last Saturday, May 30.

The series of defeats was clearly not wanted to be extended by Villarreal. Thus, despite their slim chances, they will be better prepared to welcome Liverpool in a place where Juventus and Bayern Munich have both failed to win this season.

But, keep in mind, in the history of the European Champions League only Liverpool has ever overturned a two-goal deficit in the semifinals. For that, Villarreal will look to try to bounce back against the comeback king with an unbeaten record at home in the last 12 matches in all competitions.

If you look at the records of the home party, Villarreal has recorded extraordinary achievements. They haven't lost in front of their own fans since November last year.

However, the Yellow Submarine still had a tough task after failing to register a single shot on target in the first leg. Those statistics make it clear they are not the favorite when welcoming the Reds later.

On the other hand, Liverpool came into this match with very good provisions. They have won five away games in the Champions League this season and have scored at least two goals on each occasion.
