Villarreal are an absolute train wreck on the road, not just in league play but also in Europa (losses to Salzburg and Lazio). Marcano, one of Villarreal's better defenders is also out now due to suspension.
Don't let Wolfburg's record fool you either. Although they have been a disappointment this season, if you look at their last 4 league matches since Kostner took over as manager, he's had the team play much better defensively and gotten some good results against the top 4 clubs...drawing 1-1 with Hamburg...losses to Leverkusen and Bayern which were expected but they played much more competitively, and their most recent win over Shalke. Wolfsburg strength is obviously in attack where Grafite has been on fire and the partnership with Dzeko created massive problems for Villarreal. Now that Villarreal need an away goal, it may even open up more room for Grafite and Dzeko which isn't good news for them.
