Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Aston Villa – Ajax Amsterdam
Aston Villa and Ajax played out a goalless draw in Amsterdam last week (0-0), setting the stage for a decisive showdown to secure a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) quarter-finals. Aston Villa enters this contest with bruised confidence following a demoralizing 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, marking manager Unai Emery’s joint-heaviest career home loss.
This defeat adds to Aston Villa’s concerning run of form at Villa Park, where they have suffered defeat in four of their last five home matches (with only one win). However, their recent European home record offers a glimmer of hope, as they have lost just one of their last seven home European matches (with five wins and one draw), including victories in all four home matches this season.
Ajax Amsterdam
Similarly, Ajax also faced disappointment on Sunday with a lackluster 2-2 draw at home against mid-table Fortuna Sittard. Their recent form has been underwhelming, with just one win in their last nine games, painting a stark contrast to their illustrious history. Additionally, Ajax has struggled on English soil in recent years, with their last victory in England dating back to their 2018/19 Champions League semi-final first-leg win against Tottenham (1-0).
Hot Stats
Key players to watch include Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, who has yet to score in his past two UECL matches but found the net after halftime in the two preceding matches against Dutch opposition AZ Alkmaar. For Ajax, Brian Brobbey’s late goal on Sunday marked his third goal in his last four league appearances, but he has yet to score in UECL action, making this upcoming match his fourth in this season’s competition.
Hot stat: Ajax has been eliminated in all three previous instances when they were held to a goalless draw at home in a European first leg, including last season against Union Berlin.
