UEFA Europa Conference League
(215213) Aston Villa at (215214) Olympiakos
Villa is tired as are many teams still competing in European competitions and it has shown in their recent results. Getting beaten 4-2 at home in Leg 1 was a bad sign. Unai Emery has spoken about the fatigue and about this match in particular being difficult on a Thursday night. Meanwhile Olympiakos hasn't played since Leg 1 and will certainly be the fresher side for this match.
Villa have been gifted a cushion in the Top-4 of the EPL thanks to Spurs losing four straight so while winning this competition is nice, losing it is not the end of the world as just one more result in the EPL will secure Champions League football for next season. I say that as I wonder how much fight they will have in them if they trail or are tied late in this match, but still trailing two goals on aggregate. That might help the Greek side hold onto at least a draw here.
