Europa League betting and spectator preview: Villarreal and Sivasspor meet at Estadio de la Cerámica to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Villarreal have less rest than Sivasspor in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio de la Cerámica. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sivasspor have had more rest.

It's quite the trip for Sivasspor when visiting Villarreal as the cities are 4000 kilometers apart.

Villarreal form and stats

Last season, Villarreal's Europa League journey ended in the quarter-finals against Valencia.

Seven points from three La Liga home games is a great start for Villarreal, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio de la Cerámica.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Valencia in the La Liga last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Villarreal played out a La Liga draw 0-0 when visiting Atlético Madrid.

Villarreal are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found two matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won two, drew zero and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Villarreal as they are travelling to their away game against Cadiz in the La Liga. That match is three days after this one.

Goals decide football matches and Villarreal are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.

Sivasspor form and stats

Sivasspor are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Super Lig. Sivasspor love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Sivasspor play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Kayserispor. Prior to that result Sivasspor won their away game at BB Erzurumspor in the Super Lig. The scoreline was 2-1.

You'll want to know how Sivasspor managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found two similar matches resulting in zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

A new game in only four days for Sivasspor, the Super Lig home match versus Rizespor. Busy days.

Sivasspor have the goal stats of 5-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
