Will Aston Villa Put One Foot in the UECL Final by Beating Olympiacos

Астон Вилла - Олимпиакос - 02/05/2024

2026

Aston Villa and Olympiacos meet in the Europa Conference League semi-finals this Thursday where Forebet has grouped together all the latest data, analysis, trends and mathematics for these football predictions throughout the week.

Aston Villa are at home in this game and will welcome Olympiacos to Villa Park on Thursday. Villa have one of the best home records in the Premier League this season, losing to only Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United on home soil and winning all of their home legs in the Europa Conference League.

In fact, they’ve even managed to beat both the title challengers in the Premier League this season at Villa Park, as Manchester City and Arsenal fell to losses in the Premier League over in Aston.

Villa did get a draw against Chelsea when they were 2-0 up last time out at home, as Morgan Rogers scored, although they did also manage to defeat Bournemouth at Villa Park before this where Rogers got another goal alongside finishes from Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby.

In fact, it’s not even been a month since they managed to win away at Arsenal and become the first team to win at the Emirates this season in all competitions.

Villa needed penalties in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals to progress, however, with a 2-1 home victory for Unai Emery's men being followed up by a 2-1 home loss against LOSC Lille.

Emi Martinez - as he so often has been - was the penalty hero once more that day. The Argentine is, however, likely going to miss this game through injury.

Emery’s side are still also clinging onto fourth spot and are looking increasingly like achieving a position in the Champions League for next season.

The club come into this game only outscored by Liverpool, Newcastle, City and Arsenal and are seven points ahead of fourth-placed Tottenham.

As for Olympiacos, it's been one of their worst seasons in recent times, despite getting this far in the Europa Conference League.

They now sit down in fourth in the Super League Greece, and this would end up being their lowest finish in over a decade.

Recently, they did manage to beat Lamia in the playoff game on the domestic front, but they too needed penalties away from home to get into the Europa Conference League. They beat Fenerbahce in Greece before a 1-0 loss on the road, before then winning in the shootout.

Forebet now predicts a win for Aston Villa and over 2.5 goals.
