Arsenal vs Villarreal: Friendly kick-off time, prediction

Arsenal will meet their Spanish counterpart, Villarreal, in an anticipated friendly match as part of both teams’ preparations for the new season.

Artificial intelligence analysis suggests that the match will end 3-1 in Arsenal’s favor, as they are better prepared physically and technically than Villarreal, who are suffering from administrative and technical instability. Furthermore, the Gunners are playing at home, which is a strong motivation for victory.

Under the leadership of manager Arteta, Arsenal is seeking a victory against Villarreal to start the new Premier League season strongly.

The two teams have played six matches, with three draws, two wins for Arsenal, and only one loss for Villarreal.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Villarreal is scheduled for a 6pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

The game will take place at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs Villarreal prediction

After falling at the hands of Spurs in their previous fixture, the Gunners will be very hopeful of putting things right against an uninspiring Villarreal side who are winless in six games during pre-season

Arteta has an array of attacking talent to choose from, so you can expect goals from players eager to make an impression in front of the home fans against a team who have holes in their defence.

Arteta’s men may also be eyeing a measure of revenge following their Europa League heartbreak at the hands of the Yellow Submarine four years ago.

Arsenal to win, 3-1
