I expect a comfortable win for Aston Villa. It seems that simple to me today.
Because there is just such a huge quality gap between the games they play. Aston Villa are different with Emery this season. They are much more deadly in the attacking line. I can't say Olympiacos are one of the best defensive teams among the remaining ones in the tournament too.
They have no choice except parking the bus today as a result. Even that wouldn't be enough for them in my opinion. I really like Watkins' performance recently and he will be a big threat here as well. I think he will score and Aston Villa will win by a gap of two or three goals.
Maybe even a bigger gap would be seen depending on Olympiacos' mental strength.
Aston Villa journey this season is quite impressive in the Conference League after they managed to beat Ajax and also Lille to be able to reach the semi-finals today, facing Olympiacos does not seem to be a difficult match for Aston Villa today, the quality of players possessed by Aston Villa today is of course far from that possessed by Olympiakos, In addition, the game strategy and experience possessed by Unai Emery can of course be an important factor that Aston Villa has to be able win in the match later, indeed Olympiacos may be able to trouble Aston Villa but to beat Aston Villa is certainly not an easy job for Olympiakos, when I see the Olympiacos match that defeated Fenerbache in quarterfinals , I thought Olympiacos game was not very good and even in that game Olympiacos just lucky to win because of a mistake made by Ismail Kartal in players substitutions.
I personally predict the 3-0 score for Aston Villa victory will be the end result of the first leg match today.
For other matches, it looks like Fiorentina will face a relatively easy match against Brugge later, so it is very likely that this season's Conference League final will bring together Aston Villa and Fiorentina later.
