With the points and goal difference level between all four teams in Group E of the Europa Conference League, there is everything still to play for.
AZ Alkmaar does sit above their opponents due to scoring more goals, but Aston Villa head into Thursday night on the back of a four-game run without a loss.
However, the Eredivisie team responded well against Legia Warszawa by showcasing a much stronger defensive performance, as they kept a clean sheet and took three points.
Despite Mayckel Lahdo being sent off, AZ Alkmaar were able to hold onto their lead which came courtesy of a Vangelis Pavlidis goal.
The Greek forward has been a real threat throughout the season in all competitions, and that was clear at the weekend when he scored a hat-trick as AZ Alkmaar secured a 3-0 win in the league.
