Sint-Truidense V.V. to Back Aston Villa in Europa League Final
Sint-Truidense V.V. will back Aston Villa in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening at 21:00. The match pits Villa against German side Freiburg.
The support from the whole city of Sint‑Truiden is described as a certainty. Local fans are expected to turn out in large numbers.
A victory for Aston Villa over Freiburg would secure direct entry into next season's Europa League league phase. The win would place Villa straight into the group stage of the competition.
That qualification would be for the second European tournament's league phase. It would guarantee Villa a place without having to navigate earlier qualifying rounds.
At the same time, Villa must also manage their Premier League position. They need to drop from fourth to fifth place on the final matchday.
The Premier League's final round of fixtures takes place on Sunday. A slip in the standings will affect Villa's domestic ranking.
