There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League 8th Finals meeting between Villarreal and Dynamo Kyiv. Game on!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Villarreal and Dynamo Kyiv.
Dynamo Kyiv have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Villarreal form and stats
Villarreal participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals and lost against Valencia.Villarreal have collected 21 points from their La Liga home games so far after 5-6-2. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Villarreal has performed like this (both home and away): 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. The Villarreal manager U. Emery Etxegoien might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Villarreal are returning here after visiting Eibar in a La Liga game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Carlos Bacca, Alfonso Pedraza and Moi Gómez scored the goal(s). Before that match, a Europa League win away at Dynamo Kyiv.
Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo did an outstanding job against Eibar with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Villarreal, as the La Liga home game vs Cadiz is only three days away.
Villarreal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Villarreal have conceded 14 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Dynamo Kyiv form and stats
Dynamo Kyiv's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.The away performances of Dynamo Kyiv have been very solid so far with 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Premier League. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 1W-1D-1L. This is both home and away. Dynamo Kyiv are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.
201 minutes! That's how long the Dynamo goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It's the second away game in a row for Dynamo, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Zorya in the Premier League last time out. A 0-2 loss hosting Villarreal before that.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Rukh Vynnyky in just three days.
Dynamo create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 23 goals in 9 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
