Club Brugge vs Aston Villa UEFA Champions League Prediction Match Details
Aston Villa will continue their Champions League journey on Wednesday night when they travel to the Jan Breydel Stadium to face Club Brugge. The Villans are leading the League Phase standings, but can they maintain the position before the international break?
Club Brugge Preview & Form
Club Brugge’s form in their domestic league has been good, but they have failed to replicate the form in their Champions League games, winning one and losing two of their opening three UCL games. In their last Champions League game, Brugge was heavily beaten away by AC Milan by a 3-1 scoreline, which followed up an opening 3-1 defeat to Dortmund and a slender 1-0 victory over Sturm Graz on matchday two. They are currently sitting 26th in the league phase, standing with only three points.
Club Brugge is coming into this fixture on the back of a seven-match unbeaten run in their domestic league. They have secured wins in each of their last four games, scoring nine and conceding just three.
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa are coming into their Champions League game on the back of a three-match winless run in the domestic league but have remained top of the UCL league phase standings. The Villans are one of the two teams with a perfect record in European competition, as they have won all three matches without conceding while scoring six goals. They secured a 2-0 win against Bologna in the last round of the competition, which followed up an impressive win against Bayern Munich and Young Boys.
However, recent form in the domestic competition has been disappointing. The Villans were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Crystal Palace and then faced their second consecutive defeat of the season against Tottenham away. Unai Emery will be hoping his side bounces back in the Champions League in their away games, as they have a very impressive record on the road, recording five wins, one draw, and a loss so far this season.
