Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Champions League Prediction Match Details
The Champions League second leg continues its entertaining action on Wednesday night as Aston Villa will welcome Club Brugge to Villa Park. The Villains have a first-leg 3-1 advantage, but can Villa finish their job to eye a quarterfinal spot?
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa are already one foot in this season’s Champions League quarterfinals as Villa claim an impressive 3-1 advantage in the first leg of the last 16 against Club Brugge on Belgian home soil. Unai Emery’s men have been solid when playing at home in the Champions League, having avoided defeat in each of their home games in the competition. Last weekend in the Premier League, Villa claimed a 1-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Stadium to make it three successive wins in a row in all competitions. Villa have won four of their last five matches across all competitions with two or more goals scored in three of the games.
Club Brugge Preview & Form
Club Brugge have a huge mountain to climb as they now hope to pull off an incredible comeback after suffering a 3-1 defeat in the first leg of the last 16 against Aston Villa on their home soil. The Belgian side must now overturn a two-goal deficit if they are to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals round. Last weekend, the Belgian side ended a three-game winless run by beating Cercle Brugge KSV 3-1 in the domestic league, and this should boost their confidence ahead of their trip to Villa Park. They have only won two of their last five matches across all competitions while scoring at least a goal in each of the games.
