Prediction: 1-2
Aston Villa
Zrinjski will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in Group E when they take on Aston Villa at Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom. The Bosnian outfit failed to book their place in the Conference League knockout stages, but, no doubt, their pride will be at stake this time out. Both Hrvoje Barisic and Mario Ticinovic continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Villans, on the other hand, aim to cement top position in the standings. Considering that Unai Emery’s troops defeated star-studded Man City and Arsenal in the last two Premier League matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. Bertrand Traore is a major doubt, while all Kortney Hause, Tyrone Mings, and Emiliano Buendia remain in the recovery room. All Dendoncker, Cash, Ramsey, and Diaby are pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Diego Carlos):
Diego Carlos Santos Silva is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Nantes as a defender. His main position is centre-back and his preferred foot is right. Diego Carlos began his youth career at America-SP and in 2010 he moved to Desportivo Brasil. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Sao Paulo, the 185-cm-tall defender returned to Desportivo Brasil.
However, he made his first-team debut with Madureira during his spell with the club (2014). In 2014 Diego Carlos signed a contract with Portuguese club Estoril Praia and he scored two goals in 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club. It has to be noted, though, that he played for Porto B (on loan) in the 2014/2015 season.
Diego Carlos moved to French club Nantes in the summer of 2016 and you should bear in mind that he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with les Canaris. The Brazilian footballer scored two goals in 34 appearances for Nantes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. His contract with the Ligue 1 side expires on June 20, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Aston Villa):
Aston Villa is one of the three clubs that dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
The team’s biggest success, though, came in 1982 when they won the European Cup. The Villans defeated Bayern Munich (1-0) in the title game and Peter Withe was named the man of the match.
