Ajax will travel to the Villa Park to take on Aston Villa in the second leg of their Europa Conference League Round-of-16 on Wednesday. The first leg ended without goals and both teams stand a chance of booking a spot in the quarter-final.
Ajax have registered back-to-back draws and will be hoping to return to the Netherlands with a win. They will be hoping Aston Villa will be easier to deal with, after the Premier League team's heavy 0-4 defeat at the hands of Tottenham last weekend.
