How to watch Aston Villa vs Olympiacos: TV channel and live stream for Europa Conference League semi-final
Aston Villa face a huge night as they battle Olympiacos in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final tie.
Unai Emery’s side are enjoying a fairytale campaign in Europe’s tertiary club competition, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez having played the role of both hero and villain during a pulsating quarter-final penalty shootout win over Lille in France.
Villa had already brushed aside Ajax in the round of 16 after edging out Legia Warsaw at the summit of Group E.
It’s a first European semi-final since their 1982 European Cup triumph and comes at a time when they are battling hard domestically with Tottenham to reach the Champions League next term.
Standing in Villa’s way next are Olympiacos, the Greek giants who have endured a difficult season at home but still managed to progress through to a first-ever major European semi-final.
Having finished third behind West Ham and Freiburg in their Europa League group, Thrylos defeated Ferencvaros in the play-off round and also saw off Maccabi Tel Aviv with a remarkable comeback before ousting Fenerbahce on penalties in the quarters following a 3-3 draw on aggregate.
