In this round of 32 contest between the two clubs who have played the most games in the UEFA Europa League it is Villarreal who hold a clear advantage as they play host to Salzburg with a 2-0 lead from the first leg in Austria. • Villarreal cruised to first place in UEFA Europa League Group I ahead of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, and Qarabağ, while the Austrian club finished third in their UEFA Champions League group, behind holders Bayern München and an Atlético de Madrid side that clinched qualification at the expense of Jesse Marsch's team with a 2-0 win at the Stadion Salzburg on Matchday 6. Previous meetings • A goal in each half, from Paco Alcácer – who had earlier missed a penalty – and his replacement Fer Niño, gave Villarreal victory at the Stadion Salzburg to extend their unbeaten run outside Spain in this competition to nine matches. • Before the first leg honours had been even between the clubs, with each having won two of the four matches and scored five goals. • Salzburg got the better of Villarreal in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage, beating them home (2-0) and away (1-0) as they topped the section with maximum points, but it was the Spanish side who prevailed when the teams re-encountered each other in the 2014/15 round of 32, winning 2-1 at home and 3-1 away. • Villarreal's other four games against Austrian teams have also come in the UEFA Europa League – all against Rapid Wien – with two home wins plus a draw and defeat in Austria. The most recent encounters came in the 2018/19 group stage, Villarreal winning 5-0 at home and drawing 0-0 in Vienna a fortnight later. • Having lost twice to Atlético in this season's UEFA Champions League – they also went down 3-2 in Madrid – Salzburg's record against Spanish clubs is now W4 D2 L11. In Spain it is W1 D2 L4, the one victory coming at Villarreal in 2009, though their most recent visit in the UEFA Europa League was also productive, an added-time equaliser earning them a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad in the first leg of a 2017/18 round of 32 tie that they won 4-3 on aggregate en route to the semi-finals. Form guide Villarreal • Villarreal finished fifth in the 2019/20 Spanish Liga to return to Europe after a season's absence and participate in the UEFA Europa League group stage for a record-equalling eighth time. • The Spanish club, who have reached the UEFA Europa League semi-finals twice (in 2010/11 and 2015/16), have yet to finish outside the top two in their eight group campaigns and have now gone through as section winners four times. ’s side won Group I at a canter this term, scoring 12 goals in winning their first three matches before sealing first place with a 1-0 win at Sivasspor on Matchday 5. • Villarreal have won four of their previous seven round of 32 ties. The victories came against Napoli in 2010/11 (0-0 a, 2-1 h) and 2015/16 (1-0 h, 1-1 a), Salzburg in 2014/15 and Sporting CP in 2018/19 (1-0 a, 1-1 h); the defeats were by Wolfsburg in 2009/10 (2-2 h, 1-4 a), Roma in 2016/17 (0-4 h, 1-0 a) and Lyon in 2017/18 (1-3 a, 0-1 h). • Villarreal's home record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W10 D2 L4, the defeats all leading to elimination, including in each of their last three campaigns – against Roma, Lyon and, in the 2018/19 quarter-final, local rivals Valencia (1-3 h, 0-2 a). They have won none of their last three home games in the round of 32 (D1 L2). • On each of the nine occasions that Villarreal have won the first away leg of a European tie they have gone on to qualify, achieving the feat twice in succession in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League knockout phase, against Sporting in the round of 32 and Zenit in the round of 16 (3-1 a, 2-1 h). They have never previously won the first away leg by a 2-0 scoreline. Salzburg • Salzburg were crowned champions of Austria for the seventh successive year in 2019/20, a season in which they also competed in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in 25 years, finishing third in their section behind Liverpool and Napoli. • This season Salzburg returned to Europe's flagship club competition, ending a run of 13 successive eliminations in UEFA Champions League qualifying since their first group stage appearance in 1994/95 by overcoming Maccabi Tel- Aviv in the play-offs (2-1 a, 3-1 h). Marsch's men took four points off Lokomotiv Moskva (2-2 h, 3-1 a) but lost all four games to Atlético and Bayern (2-6 h, 1-3 a), finishing third once again. • The Austrian club have therefore returned to the UEFA Europa League, where they are making a joint-record tenth appearance in the competition proper. This is their eighth participation in the round of 32, the previous seven having produced three qualifications and four eliminations. Defeated by Standard Liège in 2009/10 (2-3 a, 0-0 h), Metalist

4 Villarreal CF - FC Salzburg Thursday 25 February 2021 - 18.55CET (18.55 local time) Match press kit Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal Kharkiv in 2011/12 (0-4 h, 1-4 a), Villarreal in 2014/15 and Eintracht Frankfurt last season (1-4 a, 2-2 h), they overcame Ajax in 2013/14 (3-0 a, 3-1 h), Real Sociedad in 2017/18 and Club Brugge in 2018/19 (1-2 a, 4-0 h). • Salzburg's away record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W2 D2 L8, with defeats in the last five matches, during which they have conceded 15 goals. Their last win was 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund in the 2017/18 round of 16 – a tie they won by the same aggregate score. • The last time Salzburg lost the first leg of a European tie at home was in that round of 32 elimination by Metalist nine years ago. Only once in eight attempts have they succeeded in overturning a first-leg loss at home, beating Udinese on away goals in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup first round (0-1 h, 2-1 a). This is the second time that they have lost the first home leg 0-2, after a defeat by Valencia in the 1998 UEFA Intertoto Cup final (1-2 a). UEFA Europa League squad changes • Villarreal In: Étienne Capoue (Watford), Hassan Haissem, Andrei Rațiu Out: Soufiane Chakla (Getafe, loan), , Takefusa Kubo (end of loan) • Salzburg In: Nico Mantl (Unterhaching), Bernardo (Brighton, loan), Brenden Aaronson (Philadelphia) Out: Dominik Szoboszlai (Leipzig), Masaya Okugawa (Bielefeld, loan), Jérôme Onguéné (, loan), Majeed Ashimeru (Anderlecht, loan) Links and trivia • Salzburg's tenth participation in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, is a competition record that they share with Ajax. • Salzburg's long-serving skipper Andreas Ulmer has played in all five of his club's previous matches against Villarreal and is now second in the UEFA Europa League player appearance listings with 58 – just three fewer than long- standing record-holder Daniel Carriço. • Salzburg's Maximilian Wöber spent the second half of 2018/19 on loan at Sevilla, playing 90 minutes in a 3-0 defeat away to Villarreal. • Salzburg's Bernardo, who joined in January on loan from Brighton, made his Premier League debut for the English club on 11 August 2018 in a 2-0 defeat away to a Watford side that included Villarreal's new signing Étienne Capoue. • Villarreal have played more matches in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, than any other club. This is their 81st encounter – seven more than second-placed Salzburg. • The 16 goals scored by Villarreal this season have lifted their all-time total in the competition to a record 140, 11 more than Liga rivals Sevilla. The first-leg victory means they also now hold the record for most UEFA Europa League wins (43), one more than Sevilla and four more than third-placed Salzburg. • Villarreal coach Emery has overseen 85 matches in the UEFA Europa League proper – 26 more than any other coach. He led Sevilla to all three of their trophy successes from 2013/14 to 2015/16 and was also a losing finalist with Arsenal in 2018/19. Penalty shoot-outs • Villarreal's record in two UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W2 L0: 4-3 v Torino, 2002 UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 3-1 v Atlético de Madrid, 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup final • Salzburg's record in two UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W1 L1: 5-4 v Eintracht Frankfurt, 1993/94 UEFA Cup quarter-final 2-3 v Dinamo Minsk, 2015/16 UEFA Europa League play-off
