Match Overview
Aston Villa take on Legia Warsaw in a match in the UEFA Europa Conference League at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham on Thursday. Warsaw will feel that they will be hard placed trying to get a positive result here given how strong Villa are at home, but their attackers will want to make sure that they put their opponents on the backfoot right away.
Key Highlights
While Aston Villa have been unbeaten in the last six matches that they have played at home, Legia have not been defeated in their last five games overall. It will not be easy for Villa to beat Legia but they will surely have an upper hand over their opponents. Legia's defenders will want to make sure that Villa's attackers, led by Ollie Watkins do not get too much of space.
Injury Report
Aston Villa may have to make do without the services of Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings in this game whereas Ramil Mustafaev is one of the key absentees for Legia Warsaw in this game.
Prediction
Aston Villa, who play a high line in defence, will look to be wary against Legia's defenders, who are known to push forth from attacking situations. Having won 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur in their previous game, Villa will be bullish about their chances in this game. However, we expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
