In the return leg of the Conference League quarter-finals, Lille will play at home against Aston Villa. The match forecast for these teams has been prepared by Dailysports analysts.
Lille
The Ligue 1 leadership took a serious approach to the fact that three of their teams continue to compete in European competitions, so all three French representatives rested over the weekend and prepared for their matches. Lille was supposed to play against their direct competitor, Monaco, but this game will take place on April 24th. The team under Paulo Fonseca, with 49 points, remains in fourth place for now but has excellent chances to finish in the top 3 and qualify for the Champions League next season.
Aston Villa
Under Unai Emery's leadership, Aston Villa surprised everyone over the weekend. Aston Villa played away against Arsenal, who are still contending for the Premier League title and could have pulled away from Liverpool with a win. However, Aston Villa scored two goals in the final ten minutes and secured three points. As a result, the "lions" once again moved three points ahead of Tottenham and continue to vie for a top-4 finish. No one expected such performance from Aston Villa at the start of the season.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The first match in Birmingham ended with Aston Villa's victory with a score of 2:1.
- Previously, Lille and Aston Villa only faced each other in the Intertoto Cup in 2002.

Lille vs Aston Villa prediction
Aston Villa is the favorite for this match. However, Lille had more time to rest and prepare, which could complicate matters for the Birmingham team. My bet is X2.
