Villarreal will welcome Austria Wien to Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in UEFA Europa Conference League action on Thursday.
The Spanish side got their Conference League campaign off to a great start and have recorded back-to-back wins in their first two games. They overcame Hapoel Be'er Sheva 2-1 in their previous group stage fixture. They have played back-to-back draws in their two games since, including a goalless draw against Cadiz on Saturday.
Austria Wien are winless in their two games thus far. They kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw against Hapoel but fell to a 4-1 away defeat at Lech Poznan last time around. They suffered a 3-0 defeat in their first Austrian Bundesliga game since the international break against rivals Sturm Graz on Sunday.
Villarreal vs Austria Wien Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Villarreal vs Austria Wien Prediction
The Yellow Submarine have an impressive record in European competitions and have got their campaign off to a winning start. They will be looking to extend their winning run to three games. They have just one win in their last four games across all competitions, which is something Unai Emery will be looking to improve upon here.
Austria Wien have just one goal to their name in the competition and might struggle in their trip to eastern Spain. Given the contrast in the performances of the two teams in the competition this season, a win for the hosts seems likely here.
