Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Ajax – Aston Villa
Rarely in the brief history of the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) has there been a match as enticing as this encounter between two former European champions, Ajax and Aston Villa. Ajax, four-time champions of Europe, navigated through a challenging play-off against Bodø/Glimt to reach the Round of 16 stage. However, their recent form, with just two wins in their last seven competitive matches (D3, L2). It suggests they are not performing at their peak.
Despite their struggles, Ajax managed to secure victories in two of their last three matches. Which might provide them with some confidence heading into this difficult tie. Nevertheless, they have a series of unfavorable records to overcome. Ajax has lost their last five home matches against English teams, failing to score in the last four. Additionally, they have only won two of their last ten European games at the Johan Cruyff Arena (D3, L5).
Aston Villa
Aston Villa will look to capitalize on Ajax’s poor home record, especially as they arrive in Amsterdam riding the wave of three consecutive Premier League victories under the management of Unai Emery. Their previous success on Dutch soil, a 4-1 victory against AZ Alkmaar in the UECL group stage, maintains their perfect record against Dutch teams (W3).
In their previous European away matches this season, Aston Villa has amassed an impressive tally of 12 goals. Despite their recent defensive frailties, conceding ten goals in their last five competitive matches, they remain unbeaten in six away matches across all competitions (W4, D2).
Hot Stats
Key players to watch include Kenneth Taylor from Ajax, who has found his scoring touch recently, and Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, who has scored five goals in his last three games and has contributed to 31 goals in all competitions this season (G21, A10).
Hot stat: Despite a streak of 15 Ajax matches where both teams scored, their last two games have ended in 2-0 victories for the hosts (W1, L1).
