Olympiacos vs Aston Villa preview
Aston Villa have it all to do after last week’s shock thumping at Villa Park.
Now many would’ve predicted a 4-2 win for the visitors that night, especially after Villa levelling at 2-2 on 52 minutes.
Conceding two goals in the 15 minutes after that showed huge European naivety in the squad and Douglas Luiz’s 84th minute penalty miss could be a huge, HUGE factor come the end of the tie.
Olympiacos had the weekend off so have had a full seven days to prepare for this home leg and know avoiding defeat is more than enough for them to book their spot in the final.
Villa were in league duty trying to secure a Champions League spot but came up short in a 1-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex.
One win from their last five games – they need a big improvement on recent results to overturn this one.

Olympiacos vs Aston Villa betting tips
Turnaround, potentially?
Aston Villa go into the game knowing exactly what they need to win.
And that is win.
They’re not quite firing on all cylinders and certainly will struggle to keep the ball out their own net. Saying that, their last clean sheet was six games ago but that was at the Emirates.

Bail them out
Leon Bailey has two goals in his last six games and his pace out wide is sure to cause problems.
Had two shots in the loss last week – both blocked – and can add to that tally here.
This time, we fancy him to at least work the keeper.

Doug a hole
Douglas Luiz’s missed penalty could be pivotal last time out.
He’ll be eager to make up for it and in that midfield battle, we don’t anticipate he’ll hold back in the battling stakes.
