Football matches are quite unpredictable at this point and nothing is real certain till after 90 minutes of play on the field. I feel we just make our predictions based on the clubs current performance and then track record of the matches between the teams.
 
 Olympiacos and Club Brugge being underestimated is quite bizzare and the former while at home this season are real fierce and one side that can hurt you because their home record is quite great and they’re a delight to watch whilst playing infront of their home fans. Club Brugge of recent have been a very great team to be able to perform quite excellent in the Belgian League.

 ⁠Aston Villa and Fiorentina are favorites because of how top these teams have been performing since the season started till now even in Europe. Well it’s understandable why persons already see a final between these teams and yes it’s quite possible.
 
 These teams yes have the advantage but must not overlook on their opponents because this is the semifinals and any team that gets to this stage can be able to hurt you. Well it will all be decided after 90 mins and anything can happen, so the best team to be cautious will be able to get to the finals.

Fiorentina was failed to gets the trophy from this competition last season because at the final match they were lost from West Ham and i am sure they would be so curious and had an ambition to targetting the trophy so Fiorentina will be hard struggling to win from Club Brugge and reach to the final match and indeed according to the odds we can see it that Fiorentina is the favourite with odds @1.72 and because Fiorentina playing at their home today so they have to utilized this match with very well and if possible they should be able to win with a big scores

According to the squad conditions between them i can see whether it Fiorentina and Club Brugge in the good conditions because there was no key players from them who got injured so both teams can playing using all of their best players but Fiorentina should beware of Club Brugge players Andreas Skov Olsen and Igor Thiago because these players currently as Club Brugge top scorer in all competitions and potentially they can make Fiorentina defensive lines gets in trouble and for betting option indeed bet for Fiorentina win seems good pick because most likely they will being an the winner of this match but just like i said above i expect Fiorentina can win with big scores with 2 goals margin or more

We can say that it was a well-deserved semi-final for Olympiakos. Even though Fenerbahçe played well, they were eliminated on penalties. The young Greek goalkeeper saved 3 penalties, Livakovic did his best and saved 2 penalties, but when even players who were effective at set pieces like Tadic missed penalties, Fenerbahçe was eliminated from the semi-finals. I think Aston Villa will have the upper hand in the first match, but it would not be right to say for sure in football.

Yes you are right but I think this season and last season the conditions will be much different and of course if we talk about Fiorentina then I also agree they are strong team here and have big chance of fighting for the title in the final match. But I think Aston Villa is also not weak team and Aston Villa this season has performed very satisfactorily.
If the final brings together Fiorentina and Aston Villa then I sure Aston Villa will win it so that this will be repeat of the final where Fiorentina lost to English team.
Look at how the 4 team currently in the semifinals, Fiorentina and Aston Villa are the teams that really look very dominant, they have big chance so this is quite an interesting competition.
It just that everything I said is prediction based on the assessment of all the remaining team, there will be opportunities for change if they experience changes in their playing strength performance conditions in the future.

In my opinion it is still too early to think that the final will be between Fiorentina and Aston Villa, I say this because Olympiacos are not a very weak team, they have managed to score a lot of goals and there are times when Aston Villa have disappointed, if Aston Villa make a mistake in the game against Olympiacos, then it is possible that Aston Villa will end up with a defeat in tomorrow's game or a draw. If Aston Villa manages to win in tomorrow's game and score at least 3 goals and not concede any goals, then they will have a good advantage, because Olympiacos' biggest danger is the games they play at home, when Olympiacos are playing at home. home, they have managed to score a lot of goals and that will be a problem for Aston Villa if they lose in tomorrow's game or win but while they scored 1 goal

In the case of Fiorentina's game against Brugge, in my opinion we should not underestimate Brugge. We just need to look at their performance to realize that they are a good team, they have a good attack and good defense. In my opinion the Brugge club will beat Fiorentina and I see the Brugge club reaching the final, Fiorentina despite having won in the last games, they still don't convince me, in series A they are not doing well, but at least in the last 3 games in which they did in series A they managed to have 2 wins and 1 draw while club brugge has not lost in the last 5 games of the Belgian league

Aston Villa under Unai have been one very improved side as this season in the league they have been able to secure top 4 spot and just need a win to cement that. Unai is one very sound coach and good tactics have now brought Aston Villa back to the limelight in England.

 Their performance in Europe too hasn’t declined as they are mow in the semifinals of the conference league and the only England team still remaining in Europe. This match isn’t going to be a very tough one for the team as they’re more sound tactically than Olympiacos team.

 ⁠Aston Villa will be well composed when they’re away but I trust the fierce attack of Diaby, Bailey and Watkins to do the damage at the Villa park. It will be one thrilling encounter and very exciting to see Villa in the finals of the conference league. ⁠In the other semi final, I think Fiorentina stands a better chance in the finals and a final with Aston Villa will be thrilling and exciting to watch. I can’t wait for the season to end let’s see the new shape of European competitions.

Olympiacos can do whatever they would like but it would be in vain anyway. Neither away nor home I believe they can't get a good result against Aston Villa. As probably Aston Villa will demolish them in the 1st leg already there wouldn't be much motivation left for Olympiacos players later on. 

For the other one, I'm favouring Fiorentina of course. I respect Club Brugge's effort so far but I don't feel like this is their time to reach the finale. It's going to be the first time ever these teams face each other by the way.

Aston Villa - Fiorentina. I expect these ones to challenge each other for the trophy. 

Of course it is easy to think that Aston Villa will be the favorite and the one to qualify compared to the two teams,Aston Villa is from Premier League,the league most of us think is the strongest and mos beautiful league in Europe and not only while Olympiacos despite having more history in European cups than Aston Villa they still come from the Greece Super League and we all know in quality is much lower compared to the Premier League and that is why I also think that Aston Villa will have an easy elimination semi final leg which most likely will see them in the final.

In the other semi I see another easy one for the same reason above and I think Fiorentina will come out in final,it will be a beautiful final.

Aston Villa will face Olympiakos tomorrow in the semifinal match of the UEFA European conference league. Aston Villa is the favorite for me but in the previous round they eliminated Lille from the tournament after a penalty shootout. I was expecting them to go through more easily. Tonight they will play against Olympiacos. In the previous round Olympiacos eliminated Fenerbahce. I watched their 2 games against Fenerbahce and I don't think they will have a chance against Aston Villa. I see Aston Villa as the clear favorite in this match and in this round.

Olympiacos definitely be destroyed if they implemented a total defensive strategy against Aston at home.
They are not used to with a total defensive strategy, because in the league they are the team that is used to an attacking strategy.

In fact, if the Fenerbache manager played his best 11 players when they away to Olympiacos, Fenerbache definitely will get a ticket to the semifinals.
Fenerbache made too many technical and non-technical mistakes in the 1st and 2nd legs against Olympiacos, I would be surprised if Fenerbache didn't change their manager for next season.

Fiorentina look like they have an unfinished work from the previous season. As a reminder, they qualified for the final stage here last year but West Ham became the champions.



Once again they have a serious potential to play another final match against an English team. This time it is a more challenging opponent though.    In case of an Aston Villa v Fiorentina final which looks quite likely, I think there will be another sad ending for Fiorentina. I just don't see a high chance for them while Aston Villa are this much dedicated.

Is there anyone who expects different teams than these to reach the final?  

In the last few matches Aston Villa have really shown the consistency they have even though in the Premier League match they failed to beat Chelsea but previously they had managed to beat Arsenal well.
Aston Villa also managed to get rid of LOSC in the quarter-finals, which clearly shows that LOSC is one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, next in this semifinal I sure Aston Villa will easily get rid of Olympiacos.
Aston Villa will make good use of the opportunity to play at home to gain an aggregate advantage that can take them to the final.

This season Aston Villa is not weak team and they also have the opportunity to take part in the UCL competition next season if they can really maintain their current top four position Premier League.

There is a huge difference between Aston Villa and Olympiacos. We could have also eliminated Olympiacos in the previous round if we played better. Anyways Olympiacos will most probably adopt a defensive strategy. There is no other way to do better for them. But I don't think even that would be helpful for them. I expect a big win by Aston Villa home.

I really like Emery's system. Thanks to his strategies we can see Aston Villa winning the Conference League title and finishing the Premier League in top 4 both.

We can see very much difference in this Aston Villa side since when they hired Unai to take charge of these players as you can see how he’s improved the team greatly than how they used to perform in time past. They have suddenly rose above average to be one of the major contenders for the Top 4 spot in the league and that’s a massive one.

 ⁠They also have been able to qualify to the semifinals of the Europe Conference League this season and you can’t help but to see them as major competitors for that trophy. I think with thr right mentality they will be able to win that trophy and that will go down on the club’s record book as one very successful season in the past decade of the club’s history.
 
 For the semi finals they have better chances of qualifying as compared to Olympiacos and I think they have the major advantage which is going to be playing in their home ground. The fans will be a source of motivation for the Villa side and I think that will help them be able to score very more goals and get the advantage.

 ⁠When they get to the finals, I think they will be having great time facing Fiorentina and Club Brugge and I don’t think any of them will be able to stop them because Unai is pretty sound tactically and he has what it takes to be able to win the Conference League. Aston Villa are in the best time of their history in a long while and I hope they’ll at least be able to go to Ucl, they could be better representatives.

Aston Villa are strong in every direction, the goalkeepers and defenders are so defensive that the unique team could not call the attacking defenders. But actually Olympiakos team is very unfortunate to compete with Aston Villa, Aston Villa has performed very well this season.  Especially Aston Villa's attacking players are very hard to attack and ready to defeat other teams at any time.

There are presence of outstanding clubs that will be confident for winning the Conference League Cup this season. The UEFA Conference league is mainly for outstanding clubs and we're gradually watching the performance of these teams. Aston Villa have been in great form this season and they're striving for excellent results. Winning is always compulsory for Villa and Unai Emery is ready to make decisive changes for the purpose of Aston Villa to win matches.

French representative Lille, who lost the first match with a score of 2-1, faced Lille and Aston Villa in the 2-1 rematch of the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals. Aston Villa won the match 4-3 on penalties, with the regular time ending 2-1 and the total score 3-3. Aston Villa reached the semi-finals of the Conference League. Martinez saved two penalties in victory over Lille. Also Turkish midfielder scores once against Aston Villa to be Lille's all-time top scorer in European competitions with 12 goals.

Olympiakos is actually a good team, but they will have the misfortune of being paired with Aston Villa. Maybe if he had matched with one of the other teams he could have passed the round. Fenerbahçe has been unlucky for two years. They lost to Sevilla last year, even though they won, but this year they lost to Olympiacos. Maybe next year they can break this bad luck.

It dependts in so many facts, we all know Aston Villa is a way better team than Olimpiacos, but sometimes the football who play one team make the other one very uncomfortable so lets see if this is the case.

THe main problem for Olimpiacos is his mental strenght they always lack this one, i still mention the game against Macabi for this same tournament, you cant win a game 4-0 and lose the comeback game 4-0.

I saw a video footage yesterday where sports reporters were interviewing Aston Villa fans and asking them to choose between winning the UEFA Conference League trophy and finishing the season in the top four. The majority of the fans that were asked opted for the the Conference League trophy than finishing the season in the top four and their reason is that it'll help them experience the feeling of winning a trophy as they've not been able to lift one a very long time. It was after watching that video I realized how important the Conference League trophy is to the club fans and why the club players must do everything within their strength to make sure they bring the trophy home.
Aston Villa will play against Greek club Olympiacos in the semi finals of the competition and would only reach the final of the best Olympiacos which o think will be a very difficult task for them . there's every possiblity of seeing the English Premier League club win the competition but I think eliminating their semi final opponent will be more difficult than winning any team they'll meet in the final of the competition
