Aston Villa travel to Amsterdam on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa Conference League knock-out tie against Ajax.

2023/24 has been a fantastic campaign for Unai Emery’s side, who are on course to finish in the Premier League top four and topped Group E to secure direct passage to the round of 16.

This may be Villa’s first season back in Europe in more than a decade, but they’re the favourites to win the 2023/24 Europa Conference League and are led by the right coach in Emery, who is a four-time Europa League winner.

It’s been a hugely disappointing season for Ajax, meanwhile, as the Eredivisie side are 27 points off the summit of the table in the Dutch top tier and dropped out of the Europa League after finishing third in their group.

They have been much improved under interim boss John van ‘t Schip and beat FK Bodø/Glimt in the play-off round, but the visitors will still fancy their chances of taking a lead back to Villa Park.
