Villarreal is not an elite defensive team, and the defense has allowed six goals over the last five games while on a 1-2-2 run. They head out on the road for this Europa League battle with only one win in their last six road games. Right-back Mario Gaspar Martinez, left-back Alberto Moreno, and defensive midfielders Francis Coquelin and Vicente Iborra won't play because of injuries. Red Bull Salzburg has home field and is having a strong campaign in the Austrian-Bundesliga, in first place and outscoring league foes 58-20. Their 58 goals in 18 games is 21 better than the second-highest scoring team. They lost to Villarreal two games ago, 2-0, and need a strong effort in the rematch. Red Bull Salzburg is on a 5-2 run at home, outscoring visitors 19-8, so back the hungry home team in revenge mode. Play Red Bull Salzburg on the moneyline.
