European club fans can watch the clash between Aston Villa and Ajax on the Megogo platform. Ajax entered the Conference League after an unsuccessful performance in the Europa League group stage. Under the guidance of Maurice Steijn, and later John van 't Schip, the club failed to show consistent results, only managing to secure a victory in the last round with a score of 3-1 against Greek AEK, ultimately finishing third in the group. Although the overall results of the team were unsatisfactory, they still managed to advance to the Conference League playoffs, overcoming Norwegian Bodo/Glimt in a very tense confrontation. The Scandinavians skillfully exploited the opponent's defensive mistakes and twice took the lead by two goals. However, the Ajax players did not give up and managed to equalize in injury time thanks to a goal from Steven Berghuis. In the return leg a week later, Berghuis once again made an impact, scoring a goal and putting his team ahead.

Aston Villa experienced their greatest international success in 1982 when they sensationally won the European Cup, defeating Bayern Munich 1-0 in the final. Since then, the team have had less success in European tournaments, and the last time before the current season they participated in a UEFA tournament was in the 2010-11 season, but they failed to advance to the group stage, losing to Austrian Rapid in the playoff round. However, the Claret and Blue Army are currently the main favorite of the Conference League. This is largely due to the presence of Unai Emery as head coach, who won the Europa League three times in a row with Sevilla, and then with Villarreal in the 2020-21 season. Considering his experience and knowledge of European tournaments, Emery could be the key to success for the Lions. The group stage start for the Birmingham side was not the most successful due to an unexpected defeat in Warsaw against Legia, 2-3. Despite this initial setback, the players managed to top their group, surpassing not only the Polish club but also AZ from the Netherlands, as well as the Bosnian club Zrinjski.
