Zrinjski Mostar vs Aston Villa Preview & Prediction
Aston Villa head to Bosnia & Herzegovina for their final Conference League group stage match against Zrinjski Mostar on Thursday evening. By avoiding defeat at the Stadion Pod Bijelim Brijegom, Unai Emery‘s side will ensure a first place finish in Group E.
The Premier League high-flyers narrowly edged their Bosnian counterparts in the reverse fixture at Villa Park back in October, with John McGinn’s injury-time header enough to seal a 1-0 win and snatch a much-needed three points late on.
Since that tie, both sides have had very different journeys within the competition. Villa went on to win their next three group matches – propelling them to the top of the section, meanwhile Zrinjski lost all of their next three matches – a return that sees them sit bottom of the group.
We at SportsLens expect a comfortable evening for Villa in Mostar, and are backing them to triumph by a fairly lengthy margin with what is likely to be a second string side.

Zrinjski Mostar vs Aston Villa Betting Tips
- Aston Villa Half Time/Full Time @ 5/6
- Douglas Luiz To Score Anytime @ 11/5
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 15/4
Zrinjski Mostar vs Aston Villa Betting Tip 1: Aston Villa Half Time/Full Time @ 5/6
Our first tip for your Thursday night Zrinjski Mostar vs Aston Villa Conference League bet builder is to back the Villans to lead at both half time and full time, priced by leading UK betting sites at 5/6.
The English giants are unbeaten in the competition since losing on Matchday 1, and narrowly edged Zrinjski 1-0 in the reverse fixture as previously mentioned. As well, they are unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions, with six of those ending in victories.
Their last two wins in the English top flight came over Manchester City and Arsenal too, therefore we expect them to make slight work of Zrinjski despite the likelihood of several first teamers being rested for the clash.
Zrinjski Mostar vs Aston Villa Betting Tip 2: Douglas Luiz To Score Anytime @ 11/5
Douglas Luiz is perhaps one of those first teamers that many would expect to be rested, however after picking up a yellow card against Arsenal on Saturday – he is unavailable for this weekend’s Premier League clash against Brentford due to suspension.
Still, Emery may opt to hand Luiz an extended rest, but we expect that he’ll have an involvement of some capacity in Mostar – whether that be from the bench or right from the off.
With six goals to his name thus far this season, including one in the qualifying rounds of the Conference League, as well as the Brazilian being his side’s designated penalty taker – we at SportsLens are backing the 25-year-old to score at anytime on Thursday, priced at 11/5.
