Pafos-Villareal, the official line-ups: Marcelino chooses the Mikautadze-Perez duo

The match will feature two teams that are not in favorable positions in the overall standings. The Cypriot team is coming off two draws and a defeat in the first 3 European matches, against Kairat Almaty, Olympiakos, and Bayern Munich, respectively, while the Yellow Submarines have suffered 2 defeats and a draw in this first phase against Tottenham, City, and Juve.

Pafos takes the field with a 4-2-3-1, with Michael in goal. The chosen defensive quartet consists of Bruno, Luckassen, David Luiz, and Sema. The midfield trio is composed of Šunjić, Goldar, and Pêpê, while the attacking trio is formed by Quina, Dragomir, and Miroslav Oršić, who scored against Bayern Munich.

Villareal, on the other hand, opts for a 4-4-2. Luiz Junior will guard the goal. For the defensive line, Marcelino chooses Mouriño, Foyth, Veiga, and Cardona. In midfield, Pepé and Moleiro will operate on the wings, while Gueye and Parejo will be in the center. In attack, the offensive duo consists of the Perez-Mikautadze pair.
