Ajax

After a disappointing start to the season, Ajax managed to turn the situation around, although aspirations for high placements in the Eredivisie are no longer on their agenda. Currently occupying the fifth position, Ajax trails the third-place team by 11 points. Over the weekend, Erik ten Hag's team triumphed at home against Utrecht (2:0). In the previous round of the Conference League, Ajax only managed to eliminate Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt in overtime.

Aston Villa

After 27 rounds in the Premier League, Aston Villa is seriously contending for a spot in the Champions League next season. Under the management of Unai Emery, the team with 55 points holds the fourth position, with Tottenham, in fifth place, having one game in hand and trailing by 5 points. Over the weekend, Aston Villa secured a thrilling victory against Luton (3:2). In the group stage of the Conference League, the Birmingham-based team confidently finished first, surpassing Legia Warsaw, AZ Alkmaar, and Zrinjski.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• Aston Villa and Ajax have only played against each other once before – in the UEFA Cup 2008/09, with the English team emerging victorious with a score of 2:1.
• Aston Villa has not reached the quarter-finals of European competitions since 1998.

Ajax vs Aston Villa prediction

Unai Emery's team is more balanced and significantly stronger this season. Even if the Birmingham-based team opts for rotation, focusing on the Premier League, they should prevail in Amsterdam.
