(Football news) While the Premier League team has already guaranteed a berth in the knockout stages, Zrinjski Mostar, who were eliminated with one game remaining, are fighting for dignity. Villa’s top goal going into the season was to win the Europa Conference League trophy, but now that they are in the running for the Premier League championship, that has realistically changed.
After victories over Manchester City and Arsenal in back-to-back games, Villa is not only only two points off the top spot, but they also have a five-point lead in the competition for a sure Champions League spot for 2024–2025.
Still, Unai Emery and his team, Aston Villa will continue to give this tournament the attention it deserves; their most recent Group E victory against Legia Warsaw strengthened their cause.
In contrast to a last-32 position should they lose and Legia Warsaw defeat AZ Alkmaar, the West Midlands team now only needs one point to secure a place in the tournament’s final 16.
Villa has only lost one game in their past five away games in all competitions, but they have only won one of their last fourteen games overall.
