After overcoming the scare of Luzern, Hibs will take on Aston Villa in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff first leg at Easter Road on Wednesday night.

Hibs are one step closer to qualifying for the Conference League group stage.

The result at home would be crucial for Hibs as the second leg set at Villa Park is expected to be a tough call.

During the weekend, Hibs advanced to the next round of the Scottish League Cup with a narrow (2-1) win over Raith Rovers.

Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, are looking to become one of the top contenders for European football in the English Premier League. The Villans finished 7th last season to claim the Conference League ticket.
