Aston Villa vs Legia – Preview, and Prediction
Aston Villa vs Legia – The previous round of the UEFA Europa League saw Aston Villa defeat AZ Alkmaar 2-1 at home thanks to a second-half comeback.
The Lions have all but secured their spot in the knockout phase with six points over AZ Alkmaar and Zrinjski Mostar and equal with joint leaders Legia Warsaw.
Unai Emery’s team will meet Legia at Villa Park on Matchday No. 5 on Thursday night to mathematically guarantee a berth in the knockout phase and maybe top the section.
Since Legia is the only team in this group to have defeated Aston Villa, the Lions will undoubtedly be especially driven to exact revenge for the first defeat.
Villa will be more upbeat after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in London on Sunday, thanks to Ollie Watkins and Pau Torres. Emery’s squad trails Premier League leader Arsenal by two points.
Legia, meanwhile, has defeated Zrinjski Mostar twice in the last two rounds, and they only need a point in Birmingham to guarantee a spot in the knockout stage.
After 15 rounds of competition in the Polish Ekstraklasa, the team of German manager Kosta Runjaic, who is the team’s captain, is currently in sixth place.
They are currently in a 2-2 draw at home against Warta Poznan in the domestic league, having only won one of their previous seven games.
