There is still intrigue in this pairing, as the first game in Birmingham ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts, a 1 goal advantage gives almost nothing in the return game, especially away. Especially worth considering that Lille in that game looked quite good, the guests even had more dangerous chances, but luck was not on their side.
In any case, "Dogs" today will have to run forward, play open and aggressive football, as Lille still need to score. But we do not think that Aston Villa will be able to leave the field without scoring a goal, the team is now in great shape and scoring opponents of any rank, which proved in the last game at the Emirates.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.64
