On Thursday night, Aston Villa will look to continue their strong recent form when they host Legia Warsaw in gameweek five of Group E of the Europa Conference League.
The Villans head into this clash on the back of an impressive 2-1 win at Tottenham in the Premier League.
The victory was their sixth in the previous seven matches in all competitions. Unai Emery’s team has also scored at least two goals in all six recent wins.
When it comes to the Europa Conference League, Villa only needs a point to confirm their place in the knockout stages of the competition.
The team from the English Midlands are currently top of their group, but only courtesy of having one better goal difference than Thursday night’s opponents.
Villa’s games in the Europa Conference League have certainly not disappointed when it has come to goals, as five of their six games in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals.
The Polish outfit will be happy with their European campaign so far, as, like Villa, they need only a point to ensure that they make it out of the group.
Their form in the Europa Conference League has been decent, as they have won three of their four games in Group E.

Legia have been tough to beat of late, as a weekend 2-2 draw against Warta Poznan means that they are unbeaten in their previous five games in all competitions, having earned back-to-back draws.
One of the best facets of their game in the competition this season has been their attack, as Legia Warsaw have scored at least two goals in three of their previous four European games.
Forebet predicts Villa will continue their recent strong form by recording a comfortable victory in a high-scoring encounter.
