Aston Villa vs Legia Warsaw Prediction and Betting Tips | November 30th 2023
The action continues in the UEFA Europa Conference League when Aston Villa and Legia Warsaw square off in a top-of-the-table clash in Group E on Thursday.
Both sides are currently level on nine points and we anticipate a thrilling contest ensuing as they look to finish as group winners.
Aston Villa maintained their fine run of results at the weekend when they fought back from being behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Unai Emery’s side have now won their last three matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League on November 9.
Aston Villa now return home, where they are on a blistering six-game winning streak, scoring 19 goals and conceding five since late September.
Elsewhere, Legia Warsaw failed to return to winning ways last time out as they could only salvage a 2-2 draw against Warta Poznań in the Polish top flight.
This followed a somewhat disappointing goalless draw against Lech Poznań at home on November 12 which saw their three-match winning streak come to an end.
Legia Warsaw now turn their attention to the Conference League, where they are currently second in Group E with nine points from four matches, only below Thursday’s hosts on goal difference.
