Aston Villa aim to continue their winning momentum against Lille in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals with the latter vying for a comeback.
Lille have to turn around a one-goal lead in their own backyard as the French side is vying for a fairytale comeback. Les Douges need help from their forwards if they have any hopes of turning the tie in their favour.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will be confident of marching through to the semi-finals of the competition. Unai Emery has massive experience of winning on such European nights with Villa unbeaten in their previous three encounters in all competitions.
