A stalemate in Amsterdam means it is an even picture ahead of kick off with Villa losing 4-0 at home to Tottenham in weekend Premier League action.
After a superb 2023 at home, Villa have slipped up a few times at Villa Park in 2024, but they should rally the home crowd to progress to the next round.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-0 Ajax
