Previous meetings • The sides met in two high-scoring games in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2014/15; Marcelino's Villarreal won 4-1 at home but went down 3-2 to Urs Meier's side back in Switzerland. • Current Zürich players Olivier Buff and Marco Schönbachler (with his only UEFA club competition goal to date) were on target in those games, along with Villarreal's Bruno Soriano. Form guide • UEFA Europa League semi-finalists last season, Villarreal's seven-game European winning streak at home ended with a 2-1 loss to Monaco in this season's UEFA Champions League play-offs. • The Yellow Submarine have made it through to the round of 32 in all six of their previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • Zürich are without a win in four European away games (D1 L3). • Zürich have failed to make it through this group stage in two attempts since making the cut in their first appearance in 2007/08. Links and trivia • The journey from Zurich to Villarral is just shy of 1,100km. • Villarreal's Colombian forward Rafael Borré turns 21 on the day of the Zürich game. The coaches • Fran Escribá took charge at Villarreal in August. A trainee at Valencia, he coached with the club's youth teams, and was Quique Sánchez Flores's assistant at Valencia, Getafe, Benfica and Atlético Madrid before going it alone with Elche and – last season – Getafe. • Hired as Zürich coach in May following their relegation from the Swiss top division, Uli Forte was a defender in Switzerland's lower leagues, climbing the ladder as a coach with spells in charge of St Gallen, Grasshoppers and Young Boys. 3 Villarreal CF - FC Zürich Thursday 15 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal Team facts Villarreal CF Formed: 1923 Nickname: El Submarino Amarillo (The Yellow Submarine) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Intertoto Cup (2): 2003, 2004 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: semi-finals 2014/15: round of 16 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: UEFA Champions League group stage 2010/11: semi-finals 2009/10: round of 32 2008/09: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2007/08: round of 32 2006/07: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-1: Villarreal v NAC Breda 27/08/09, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg 5-0: Villarreal v FC Dnepr Mogilev 19/08/10, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 0-3 three times, most recently v FC Astana 21/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Villarreal v Manchester City FC 02/11/11, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: FC Porto v Villarreal 28/04/11, UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Villarreal v NAC Breda (see above) 5-0: Villarreal v FC Dnepr Mogilev (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: FC Astana v Villarreal (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Villarreal v Sevilla FC 12/03/15, round of 16 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: FC Porto v Villarreal (see above) FC Zürich Formed: 1896 Nickname: Der Stadtclub (The City Club) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 12 (2009) 4 Villarreal CF - FC Zürich Thursday 15 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal Swiss Cup: 9 (2016) Ten-year record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: first round 2007/08: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: Zürich v NK Brotnjo 22/06/02, UEFA Intertoto Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-7: KA Akureyri v Zürich 22/09/70, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Zürich v Bayer 04 Leverkusen 19/12/07, UEFA Cup group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Real Madrid CF v Zürich 07/05/64, European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-final second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Zürich v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 13/08/98, second qualifying round first leg 4-0: Zürich v Anorthosis Famagusta FC 15/09/98, first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Sliema Wanderers FC v Zürich 12/08/99, qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Zürich v Bayer 04 Leverkusen (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: 1.
