Luciano Vietto to spearhead Villarreal’s fightback at Sevilla

Villarreal, 23/10 with Coral to triumph over 90 minutes, must navigate their way through a tricky Europa League last-16 reverse at Sevilla, after losing 3-1 on home turf last time out.

The Yellow Submarine have a tough task ahead and will need to sink at least three goals past the Bathtubs to avoid an early exit.

This may sound unlikely, but Marcelino García Toral’s men have already taken points from Spanish capital clubs Atletico and Real Madrid this term, and are 11/2 to score three or more.

Villarreal, who have found the net in all of their continental clashes this campaign, racking up an impressive 21 strikes, have being playing some truly vibrant football.

Key to the Yellow Submarine’s status as surprise package in La Liga is adaptable Argentine hitman Luciano Vietto, so the Bathtubs will underestimate their plucky guests at their peril. The tremendously talented 21-year-old has notched up 20 goals in 40 appearances this season, and grabbed a crucial consolation in the first-leg.

At 6/1 to strike first, or a terrific 2/1 in the anytime market, any Villarreal fightback will surely start with sought-after Vietto.

The Yellow Submarine will need all the firepower at their disposal, so former Barcelona and Tottenham attacker Giovanni dos Santos (13/5) could also be called upon, while Spanish sharpshooter Gerard Moreno is 7/1 to have the final say.

Hosts Sevilla should surely beware of a backlash from their guests, who have little to lose, but can be confident in their recent record against the Castellon club.

Unai Emery’s Europa League holders have been beaten by Villarreal just once in their last nine clashes across all competitions, and have already slain them on two occasions this term.
