The Spanish side head into this one on the back of 2-3 home loss against Braga in a club friendly prior to which they drew a third successive match in the La Liga against Atletico Madrid.

Villarreal has not started their domestic campaign well and need a positive result to ensure a turnaround.

In their last league match; Trigueros and Danjuma’s goals were cancelled out by Suarez and Mandoi’s own goal.

On the other hand, Atalanta’s campaign also hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts with them having earned only 4 points from their first 3 matches.

They lost on the weekend at home 1-2 against Fiorentina as well to mount pressure on themselves.

Vlahovic scored a brace for the visitors which could not be wiped out as Zapata could manage to pull back only one goal.

Neither side has been consistent this season, hence this European clash could well be the starting point of a momentum shift.
