Match Preview

The best analytical analysis of the match 1/8 of the Conference League Aston Villa - Ajax contains our prediction based on the necessary information. Well, sportbooks have little doubt that the English will solve all the issues at home after the dismal zeros on the scoreboard in the Netherlands. We, in turn, want to look at the situation from all angles.

Aston Villa in the remaining part of the season is solving two tasks - to maintain a place in the top-4 of the APL and triumph in the European Cup. Unai Emery has used three tactical schemes (4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 and 5-3-2) at once over the past month. However, the excessive concreting of the defense did not lead to anything good. Last weekend, the boys suffered a humiliating defeat to Tottenham at home (0:4), marked by terrible statistical indicators (1 shot on goal, 31% of possession and 0.82 xG). Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey have been competently neutralized by other people's defenses in two games in a row, indicating unideal playing conditions.

Ajax are going through almost the worst times in history, not dominating their rivals even in the domestic league (5th position). A couple of days ago the team almost lost to Fortuna at home (2:2), equalizing on 88 minutes. Jordan Henderson pleased with the first useful action in a new home (assist), and there are no other reasons for positivity. Nevertheless, the Dutch should not be underestimated. Now they will definitely give their best in the LC, because there is simply no chance to clinch the title in the Eredivisie.

Tentative line-ups:
Aston Villa: Martinez - Cash, Lengle, Torres, Ding - Tielemans, Douglas Luis, Bailey, Diaby, Zanyolo - Watkins.
Ajax: Ramay - Kaplan, Rench, Hato - Sosa, Henderson, Gaesi, Van de Boman - Taylor, Akpom, Brobbey.

Aston Villa Review

To assess the condition and mindset of the home team, one must consider a range of factors, such as motivation, the list of injured players, weather conditions, and much more. However, the primary criterion remains the team's consistency in recent games.

Ajax Amsterdam Review

The team Ajax Amsterdam is ready to take to the field and demonstrate their intentions in the cup confrontation to the audience.

To better understand the state of affairs within the team, let's delve into the main statistics for the last 10 matches. During this time, the club's calendar saw the following:

3 wins;
5 draws;
2 defeats.

To determine the team's focus (offensive play or, conversely, cautious), we suggest looking at the goal numbers: the average goals scored is 1.7, and the average goals conceded is 1.5. Overall, it's time for the club to demonstrate their fighting spirit and desire for victory.

In our opinion, the hosts will have a tough time in this match. England are definitely not in the best spirits after the aforementioned blow, and we believe that they will again experience difficulties. A +1.5 win for the visitors is our pick for the game.
