Legia Warsaw and Aston Villa will face off in the Matchday 1 of the UEFA Conference League Group Stage.
Legia Warsaw may face a challenge in finding the net against this Aston Villa lineup, which we believe is capable of scoring and potentially maintaining a clean sheet as well.
Legia Warsaw enters this match after a 1-1 draw against Piast Gliwice in the Ekstraklasa.
Lately, Legia Warsaw has struggled to maintain a strong defensive presence. In fact, they have allowed their opponents to score in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding a total of 9 goals during that period. It remains to be seen whether this defensive trend will persist in this upcoming game.
Fortunately for Legia Warsaw, manager Kosta Runjaić has a fully fit squad to choose from, with no injury concerns ahead of this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 3, Lost: 0, Scored: 9, Conceded: 6, Clean Sheets: 1.
Aston Villa enters this match with momentum, having secured a 3-1 victory in the Premier League against Crystal Palace in their last outing.
Demonstrating a penchant for high-scoring encounters, Aston Villa has been involved in matches with a total of 23 goals in their last 6 outings, averaging 3.83 goals per game. However, their opponents have contributed 5 goals to this total.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery faces a selection challenge due to limited player availability, with Buendía and Mings ruled out for this match.
