"Starting with the hosts, while the Go Ahead Eagles might have made real history back in April as they got their hands on a maiden KNVB Beker crown, Melvin Boel's men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this time around. Last seen marking their return from October's international break with a 2-1 loss away at PSV, the Overijssel-based outfit will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here."
"Despite securing a first Europa League victory earlier in the month as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Panathinaikos, that is the only win that Thursday's hosts have recorded from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Signing off September with an action-packed 4-2 loss against Telstar, GA Eagles have shown some worrying defensive issues. Continuing on from last season, Boel's side have recorded just a pair of clean sheets in Overijssel since the middle of March."
Aston Villa will travel to the Netherlands to play Go Ahead Eagles in a Europa League fixture. Go Ahead Eagles won their first KNVB Beker in April but have lacked stability and form since. The hosts lost 2-1 away at PSV after the October international break and have recorded only one Europa League victory this month, the 2-1 win at Panathinaikos. Defensive issues are evident after a 4-2 loss to Telstar and only two clean sheets since mid-March. Victor Edvardsen remains sidelined with a muscle issue, Juluis Dirksen has recently returned, Milan Smit has six goals in six appearances, and Joris Kramer partners Gerrit Nauber at the back. A betting tip highlights Emi Buendia over 0.5 shots on target at best odds 17/20 with bookmaker Dachbet.
