Tensions are high as Aston Villa takes their slender lead to Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie against Lille. Having edged out a 2-1 victory at Villa Park, the Villans are poised to face Paulo Fonseca's men, who remain a formidable force, especially at home. The Ligue 1 side suffered their first defeat in the competition last time out but remain unbowed, having recently toppled Arsenal, signaling their threat. With both teams having shown periods of dominance, Villa's late-game heroics against the Gunners add an extra layer of intrigue to this closely matched encounter. It's set to be a riveting battle as Villa eyes a semi-final berth, while Lille aims to extend their robust European campaign.
