Match backgroundIt could be winner takes all on matchday five as Zürich and Villarreal meet in Group L, with the result potentiallydeciding both sides' UEFA Europa League destiny.
• Villarreal go through with a victory provided Steaua do not win against Osmanlıspor; Zurich qualify if they win by atwo-goal margin or 1-0 and Steaua do not prevail.
Previous meetings• Zürich led within two minutes of kick-off when these teams met for the third time on matchday one, but the YellowSubmarine rallied to win 2-1.
• The clubs previously met in two high-scoring games in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2014/15;Marcelino's Villarreal triumphed 4-1 at home but went down 3-2 to Urs Meier's side back in Switzerland.
• Current Zürich players Oliver Buff and Marco Schönbachler (with his only UEFA club competition goal to date) wereon target in those matches, along with Villarreal's Bruno Soriano.
Form guide• Zürich are unbeaten in three games since that matchday one loss at Villarreal (W1 D2) and have not lost in their lastseven group stage home games (W4 D3).
• Villarreal have drawn both of their Group L away fixtures, and are without a win in four European matches on theroad (D2 L2).
• Zürich have failed to make it through the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League group stage in two attempts since makingthe cut in their first appearance in 2007/08.
• The Yellow Submarine have qualified for the round of 32 in all six of their previous UEFA Cup and UEFA EuropaLeague group stage ventures.
Links and trivia• The journey from Villarreal to Zurich is just shy of 1,100km.
• Villarreal's Pato, Braga's Pedro Santos and Austria Wien's Felipe Pires were the most fouled players in the first fourmatchdays, with 14 infringements each against them.
• Villarreal have become only the second side after PSV Eindhoven to play 50 UEFA Europa League games, groupstage to final.
The coaches• Hired as Zürich coach in May following their relegation from the Swiss top flight, Uli Forte was a defender inSwitzerland's lower leagues, climbing the ladder as a coach with spells managing St Gallen, Grasshoppers and YoungBoys.
• Fran Escribá took charge of Villarreal in August. A trainee at Valencia, he coached with the club's youth teams, andwas Quique Sánchez Flores's assistant at Valencia, Getafe, Benfica and Atlético Madrid before going it alone withElche and – last season – Getafe.
