Bet on Aston Villa vs Celtic

Will Villa Record Fifth UCL Win?

Aston Villa have one foot in the next round of the Champions League. A win at Villa Park on Wednesday will surely be enough to claim a top-eight spot and automatic qualification to the knockouts.

Securing a play-off place would have been the priority before a ball was kicked, and Unai Emery’s men have done that. They are in ninth place after four wins, one draw, and two defeats.

Although Celtic can still mathematically finish in the top eight, the Bhoys are guaranteed a play-off berth. Last week’s crucial 1-0 home victory over Young Boys made sure of a place in the top 24.

Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops have had a strong European campaign, winning three, drawing three, and losing just one of their seven fixtures. They will leapfrog Aston Villa with a win in the English Midlands on Wednesday night.

The Aston Villa vs Celtic Head-to-Head Form Guide

Aston Villa are winless in three, drawing two and losing one. They lost at Monaco in the Champions League and drew 1-1 at home with West Ham United in the Premier League last week.

Celtic are unbeaten in six, picking up five wins and one draw. The Celts have suffered just one defeat in all competitions since losing 7-1 to Borussia Dortmund in October.

Aston Villa vs Celtic Betting Tips & Predictions

Celtic are tough to beat this season, but Aston Villa have won five and drawn two of their last seven at Villa Park. Our money is going on the Premier League team in this one (1.56).

Villa have kept four clean sheets in the Champions League this season, stopping the likes of Bayern Munich and Juventus from scoring at Villa Park. Back the hosts to win to nil at 2.70.
