Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa has a huge mountain to climb in this game to reach the last four of the Champions League following a heavy 3-1 defeat in the first leg at Paris against PSG. They trail Paris Saint-Germain by a two-goal deficit but will come into this game on the back of a high-spirited 3-0 victory against relegated side Southampton in the domestic league, with all three superb second-half substitutes combining together to score in the match.
Unai Emery's side has now won nine of their last ten games across all competitions, with two or more goals scored in eight of the games. Villa will need to put in a good fight in this game on their home soil, where they have won each of their last four competitive games in the domestic league.
Watch Unai Emery's press preview for the match.
PSG Preview & Form
PSG, since claiming a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal, has not participated in any games. They have already wrapped up their 13th Ligue 1 title at the weekend by beating Angers 1-0 on their home soil. Luis Enrique's men have been on fire in their domestic league games, as they have remained undefeated so far during the 2024-25 campaign. The Parisians made a shocking performance in their Champions League games by dumping out UCL league phase Liverpool in the round of 16 on penalties to advance to the quarterfinals.
During their league phase, they have also defeated English opposition Manchester City 4-2 at Parc des Princes but suffered defeat at Anfield against Liverpool and against Arsenal. They posed a strong attacking threat in the Champions League, having scored three or more goals in six of their last eight UCL games.
