Aston Villa will look to defend their slim lead in the Europa League tie with Lille when the two teams face each other at Villa Park on Thursday. As the Villans proved their worth in the first leg, we predict a 2-1 home win. Unai Emery’s men do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team winning only one of their last six games in all competitions. Given their expected goals of 1.74 at home, punters worldwide can definitely find value in betting on the Premier League outfit. Midfielder Emiliano Buendia should be fit despite picking up a knock in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Man United.
Lille, on the other hand, failed to impress in the first leg, but a 2-1 league win over Rennes surely gave them a confidence boost. Anyhow, away win should not be considered as Lille have been scoring only 1.00 goals per game on the road of late. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, veteran striker Olivier Giroud is pushing for a start after coming off the bench in the last Ligue 1 game.
Over the years Aston Villa have turned their Villa Park into a real fortress and despite their recent struggles, they are more of a team than Lille. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, with additional value on Under 3.5 goals (100% H2H) and Aston Villa to Win to Nil.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 March 2026 at 20:00.
