Aston Villa aims to maintain their impressive campaign when they go head-to-head with Ajax in Amsterdam on Tuesday. This match is the first leg of the Conference League’s round of 16.

John van ‘t Schip’s appointment as Ajax’s head coach in October has propelled the club from the relegation zone to the upper half of the Eredivisie table. However, maintaining consistency is still a problem. Going into Thursday’s game, the Sons of the Gods have only managed to secure two victories from their previous seven matches across all competitions. The scarcity of clean sheets recently is also a concern.

Between January and mid-February, Aston Villa experienced their most challenging period this season, securing only a single victory in six matches. However, Unai Emery’s team has rebounded. The Villans have claimed victory in their last three games, and they’re predicted to prolong this winning streak in Thursday’s game.

Ajax vs Aston Villa Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Ajax’s main issue in recent months has been their defense. Despite their status as record champions of the Eredivisie, they have managed only one clean sheet in their last fifteen games across all competitions. Moreover, each of the four European matches they’ve played in this period has yielded a minimum of three goals.

Aston Villa is currently on a scoring spree. Unai Emery’s team have managed to net at least one goal in each of their previous seven matches across all competitions. Furthermore, bets on over 2.5 goals have been successful in all these seven fixtures.
