Go Ahead Eagles vs Aston Villa postponement latest as severe weather warning announced
Aston Villa could face some disruption to their clash away to Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday.
Villa are set to face Go Ahead Eagles as they look to continue their winning run in the Europa League this campaign.
Villa beat Feyenoord 2-1 last time out on the continent, adding to the three points that Unai Emery’s side earned previously against Bologna.
The Villa Park club will be confident of securing yet another victory after a 2-1 Villa win against Tottenham in their latest Premier League outing.
The claret and blue faithful are now preparing for a trip to face Go Ahead Eagles, where the weather could have a telling impact in the Netherlands.
Go Ahead Eagles vs Aston Villa faces weather warning concern
Emi Buendia could start for Villa against Go Ahead Eagles, with changes potentially in the pipeline for the Villans in mid-week.
Emery could look to get the most out of his squad against a side that is currently sitting 12th in the Eredivisie.
The Dutch outfit has won just three games this season, but did pick up three points in the Europa League against Panathinaikos away from home.
Villa can’t afford to be complacent, although there is little excuse why they shouldn’t be able to secure their sixth consecutive victory.
Things may not be as simple as the B6 club hopes after a weather warning was announced in the Netherlands for Thursday and Friday.
AccuWeather has reported that wind in Deventer, the home of Go Ahead Eagles, could reach speeds of 62 miles per hour.
Warnings have been set around loose debris, with “localised outdoor activity disruption” potentially possible due to this risk.
Aston Villa can’t use weather excuse vs Go Ahead Eagles
Things don’t always go your way, and Villa will have to learn that if they genuinely think they can win the Europa League this season.
It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows against Feyenoord, but the away side rode the storm and came away with a superb 2-0 win.
A return to the Netherlands could present challenges when it comes to conditions that are likely to suit Go Ahead Eagles more.
Emery won’t care and will demand that his side continue to play football according to his vision, securing yet another victory on the continent.
If the result goes the other way, there can’t be any blame placed on the wind.
It would make Villa look tinpot and would be the completely wrong way to go about things.
