Aston Villa Faces Lille in Europa Conference League Quarter-finals

Aston Villa is set to face Lille in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League after defeating Ajax in the previous round. Lille currently fourth in Ligue 1 poses a tough challenge having clinched the French league title in 2021. Should Villa progress, they might encounter Fiorentina in the final a team motivated to avenge their loss to West Ham in the previous season.

The semi-finals could potentially feature Olympiacos or Fenerbahce both teams boasting former Premier League players in their ranks. Meanwhile, in the other quarter-finals, Brugge will face PAOK and Viktoria Plzen will take on Fiorentina. Villa’s impressive performance against Ajax has made them favorites to win the tournament.

The quarter-finals will be held over two legs in April followed by the semi-finals in May. The final will take place at the AEK Athens Arena on May 29. The winner of the Europa Conference League will earn a spot in next season’s Europa League group stages.
