Austria Wien will entertain Villarreal at the Franz Horr Stadium in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday (October 13).
The hosts have got their campaign off to a slow start. After a goalless draw against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in their campaign opener, they have lost two games in a row. With one point, Wien are in last place in Group C. Villarreal, meanwhile, have won all three games.
The two teams last met in Spain last week. Villarreal won 5-0, with veteran striker José Luis Morales bagging a hat-trick after coming on as a second-half substitute. Villarreal, though, fell to a 1-0 defeat in La Liga against Real Sociedad on Sunday. Wien, meanwhile, beat Rapid Wien 2-1 in the Austrian Bundesliga on the same day.
