The Europa Conference League rumbles on, with high stakes ahead of the final round of group stage matches.

Only two groups have been conclusively won so far, leaving plenty of room for other contenders to smash and grab a knockout spot for themselves.

Eight group winners will progress directly to the round of 16, while eight group runners-up must face eight Europa League third-place teams in a play-off round to begin the next phase of the competition.

Aston Villa require a draw against rock-bottom Zrinjski Mostar to cement their spot in the round of 16, but their place in the knockouts on the whole is guaranteed.

Unfortunately, the only other British representatives, Aberdeen, are out of the competition, as they cannot chase down Frankfurt in Group G – despite a trio of valiant draws on the continent so far.
