This match comes ahead of the Europe League 1/16 finals round as Salzburg will welcome Villarreal at the Red Bull Arena on Thu. Let’s take a look at the match preview to provide the best betting tips and correct score prediction for this tie. 

Salzburg v Villarreal Betting Tips

Salzburg enters this knockout duel Europa League from a series of 6 consecutive wins in domestic competitions. The atmosphere in the team is perfect. They also had excellent results in the Champions League, and the goal certainly is to go as far as possible in this competition by the end of the season. The duo from Brazil Ramalho and Bernardo will not be able to perform in this match.

In the last 7 matches in the Spanish championship and cup, Villarreal has won only once. The form is not so good, but the Austrian and Spanish leagues' quality should be differentiated at the start. In the last two matches against Salzburg played in 2015, Villarreal won 3-1 and 2-1. At the moment, Villarreal has more problems with injured players than rivals because they lack 5-6 players who have solid minutes this season.

Salzburg v Villarreal Correct score prediction 

Salzburg is a team that does not worry too much about defending its goal, so there will certainly be plenty of room for the Spanish team and quick counterattacks. However, I think there will be goals on both sides, and this will be an exciting match, one of the most interesting at this stage of the competition. My projection for the correct score is 2-2, and a draw is definitely a possible outcome. The winner of the overall duel will be known only after the second match.
