OLY vs AVL Predictions

While Aston Villa have been impressive throughout the Premier League and in Europe this season, they will find it tough to overturn a two-goal defeat in Greece in the first leg. They are beginning to run out of energy and have tired legs as they have a hectic schedule. Olympiacos have been in strong form lately and have enjoyed a week of rest between the two legs. That extra time away from the pitch may earn them the final qualification for the UEFA Conference League.

OLY vs AVL Team Previews

Olympiakos Team Preview:

• Olympiakos has been in excellent form lately. They have gone undefeated in seven of their past eight games in all competitions.
• José Luis Mendilibar has led the Olympiakos side to six victories out of eight games and scoring a total of 22 goals.
• The Greeks have been especially dominant at home, winning their previous four successive matches. Their most recent triumphs were 4-1 over Lamia and 4-2 against Aston Villa.

Aston Villa Team Preview:

• Aston Villa’s recent form has been poor, with the club being winless in their past three matches across all competitions and losing their last two.
• After a 2-2 draw with Chelsea, they lost 4-2 to Olympiakos and 1-0 to Brighton. Youri Tielemans is expected to return, and Alex Moreno returned for the league game against Brighton.

OLY vs AVL Players to watch

Olympiakos: For the Greeks, Ayoub El Kaabi made the difference in the first leg. In his seven Conference League games this season, the 30-year-old has scored eight goals, including a hat-trick. Ayoub El Kaabi is one player the hosts should be able to depend on on a night when penalties could be used. He scored seven penalties this season across all competitions after making a conversion from the spot in the opening leg.

Aston Villa: It seems like Aston Villa will have to depend on its talented striker, Ollie Watkins, to score three goals or more in this match. He has been on fire this season, with 22 goals and 12 assists across all competitions. He is our star player; if they are to progress to the UEFA Conference League championship game, their ability to score goals and creativity will be crucial.
