Valencia seems to be headed to the semi-finals following last week's win. Will Villarreal come from behind and shock their rivals?

What is Valencia and Villarreal's form ahead of this game?

Valencia enters this game having won four out of their last five, which include victories at home against Real Madrid and Levante. Valencia is still unbeaten in UEFA Europa League games at home this season, after defeating Celtic (1-0) and Krasnodar (2-1) in the previous rounds.

Villarreal ended a four-game winless streak last weekend, when they finally took home three points by beating Girona. Speaking of Europa League games, the Yellow Submarine had not lost a single game until last week's clash, and even if they end up being eliminated, they will want to go out with a smile. Javier Calleja's men are still involved in the battle to avoid relegation in La Liga, and an elimination here could come as a blessing in disguise to focus on that ordeal.

What do Valencia and Villarreal need to make it to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League?

Valencia seems to be headed for the semi-finals due to their 3-1 away win last week. Los Naranjeros would make it to the final four if they can manage to win this game, if they draw this match of even if they lost 2-0. In a season that has seen them draw several games at home, their presence in the tournament's semis should be considered a lock.

Villarreal needs a bit of a miracle to make it to the next round. For starters, the Yellow Submarine needs to score three goals, and then, they need to keep a clean sheet. For every goal Valencia scores, they'd need to add one more to their initial three-goal target.

The tie could be decided in extra time or penalties if Villarreal can beat Valencia with a 3-1 score after 90 minutes.

Valencia is yet to lose against Villarreal in the 2018-19 campaign, as they have claimed two wins and one draw against the Yellow Submarine.
Villarreal has collected two wins in their three most recent visits to Mestalla, even if their previous game at that stadium this year ended in a 3-0 victory for the hosts.
Valencia will try to repeat their feat from 15 years ago, when they eliminated Villarreal by walking away from the El Madrigal Stadium unscathed in the first leg and by winning the return leg at home.
