In my opinion Aston Villa has a really good chance to at least avoid loss in this game and get qualification into the semis.
Aston Villa won 2:1 at home in the first match between both teams so they have a good mental advantage before this game.
Aston Villa's lineup should look exactly the same as in the first match as they don’t have any new absences. On the other hand, Lille have some worries about their two best assistants - Zhegrova & Gomes - both are very doubtful for this game.
Guests’ are in very good form, in the last 12 matches in all competitions they lost only twice - against Tottenham and Manchester City (both teams from Premier League top5). Aston Villa confidence should be on the highest possible level as they won 2:0 on the road against Arsenal at the weekend. Coach Unai Emery said: "When we are in Europe, we have to be focused and very demanding if we want to get something here. Playing against a team like Lille, they are very motivated and they are a very organised team. The result at Villa Park was not enough for us or for them. We have to enjoy an amazing day, an amazing match being very demanding.’’
Aston Villa should be able to score at least one goal here as they have scored in the last 7 consecutive matches (5 times scored more than one). They should be able to break currently unstable Lille defensive formation. Hosts are without consistency or stability at the back. Lille conceded at least one goal in the last 6 matches in a row.
Aston Villa is a stronger team at both ends of the pitch and is in better form. That should be visible today.
在我看来,阿斯顿维拉有一个很好的机会,至少在这场比赛中避免输球,进入半决赛。
阿斯顿维拉在两队的第一场比赛中主场2:1取胜,所以他们在这场比赛前有很好的心理优势。
阿斯顿维拉的阵容应该和第一场比赛完全一样,因为他们没有任何新的缺阵队员。另一方面,里尔有一些担心他们的两个最好的助手——哲格罗娃和戈麦斯——他们都非常怀疑这场比赛。
客队的状态非常好,在最近的12场比赛中,他们只输了两场——对阵热刺和曼城(两支英超前五的球队)。阿斯顿维拉的信心应该处于最高水平,因为他们在周末客场2:0战胜了阿森纳。主教练埃梅里说:“当我们在欧洲的时候,如果我们想在这里有所收获,我们就必须集中精力,要求很高。”对阵像里尔这样的球队,他们非常有动力,他们是一支非常有组织的球队。维拉公园的结果对我们和他们来说都不够。我们必须享受精彩的一天,一场精彩的比赛要求很高。”
阿斯顿维拉应该能在这里至少进一个球,因为他们已经连续7场比赛进球了(5次进球超过1个)。他们应该能够打破里尔目前不稳定的防守阵型。主机在后面没有一致性和稳定性。里尔在最近的6场比赛中至少丢了一个球。
阿斯顿维拉在攻防两端都更强大,状态也更好。这应该在今天就能看到。
