- Venue: Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw)
Legia Warszawa are Poland's most successful team, with 15 league titles. Last season, the popular Militarians failed to win the title, finishing 2nd - nine points behind Rakow. This year, they started well by winning the Super Cup and are the only undefeated team in Poland's Ekstraklasa. They won 14 points in six league games and were also solid in the Europa Conference League Qualifiers, eliminating Ordabasy, Austria Vienna, and Midtjylland.
Aston Villa finally reached Europe for the first time since the 2010/11 season when they played in the Europa League. In the previous Premier League season, the Villans finished seventh, above teams like Tottenham, Chelsea, and West Ham. Over the Summer, they added very good players, and they are, for a reason, the leading candidate to win the Europa Conference League title. In the Premier League, after five rounds, they are 7th with nine points.
Legia Warszawa vs Aston Villa pick: Over 2.5 goals
This season, Legia Warszawa played 13 games and were eight times over 2.5 goals. In the Europa Conference League, they almost exclusively played high-scoring games, as they were only once under 2.5 goals in six games. But we could see a high-scoring game even in that match vs Midtjylland (1:1) as both teams had their chances to score another goal. Now, they will face the best team so far, but considering they had games where they scored five goals vs Austria Vienna and three vs Midtjylland, we feel confident that they can score even against the Villans at Stadion Wojska Polskiego.
Aston Villa were over 2.5 goals in all seven games this season. Their offense has been superb, scoring three or more goals in five of those seven matches. They are a very potent team offensively, and we wouldn't be too surprised if they score three (or more) goals in this game vs Legia. The only question about Aston Villa is whether they will rotate the squad. Still, as a favorite to win the Europa Conference League title, we think they would want a strong start and to secure the knockout phase as soon as possible.
Considering both team's good forms, we expect an exciting game with at least three goals.

Legia Warszawa team news
Due to thigh muscle strain, Legia Warszawa will miss their starting central defender, Rafal Augustyniak. Augustyniak played every second in the Europa Conference League Qualifiers, and his absence will be a massive blow for the team. With him potentially out, the defensive trio at the back should be Pankov-Ribeiro-Jedrzejczyk.
Striker Blaz Kramer missed the previous game vs Piast Gliwice due to an injury and might miss the Aston Villa game. Still, he is only a backup option for the team. Also, due to a long-term injury, Legia will miss midfielder Bartosz Kapustka.
According to speculations, coach Kosta Runjic could be the next coach of the Polish national team. Still, Legia are unwilling to let the Runjic go because they are very satisfied with him.

Aston Villa team news
Aston Villa have a large number of injured players. Tyrone Mings and Emiliano Buendia are ruled out with a knee and an ACL injury, while Diego Carlos, Bernard Traore, Tim Iroegbunam, and Jacob Ramsey, who all missed previous games, are close to returning to the pitch. They are questionable for now, but we might see some for limited minutes.
After a 3:1 win over Crystal Palace, coach Unai Emery was satisfied. He said the team's reaction after conceding a goal for 1:0 was fantastic and that he is very proud of the team. Also, the coach praised 19-year-old forward Jhon Duran and said he has great potential and will get more playing time. That could mean we might see him start against Legia.
