Conference League Semifinals: Aston Villa-Olympiakos(2 May 2024, Villa Park, Birmingham)

[Omonoia9]

Semifinals now, Olympiakos visiting Aston Villa. Need to keep it close to have a chance in Piraeus

Getting goals past World Cup winner Emilio Martinez will be tricky. A draw would be ideal, an away win would be fantastic.
