Bet on Club Brugge vs Aston Villa

Will Emery’s Men Take a Lead to Villa Park?

Brugge have done superbly to reach the last 16 of the Champions League. The Belgians edged into the play-offs after three wins, three defeats, and two draws from eight league-phase fixtures.

Nicky Hayen’s side then got the better of Italian outfit Atalanta over two legs in the play-off round. After a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the Jan Breydel Stadium, the Bruges club picked up a stunning 3-1 away win in Italy to go through.

Aston Villa were one of the eight teams to progress automatically to the final 16. Unai Emery’s troops won five of eight, conceding just six times in the process.

The Villans won their opening three, seeing off Young Boys, Bayern Munich, and Bologna. Only one victory in four followed, but a 4-2 triumph over Scottish champions Celtic in the final game put them through.

November’s Champions League matchup was the first meeting between these two sides. Villa were the favourites after three straight European successes, but Brugge prevailed on home soil.

Emery’s men were not at their best at the Jan Breydel Stadium, and Hans Vanaken’s 52^nd-minute penalty was enough to give the hosts a 1-0 victory. Can the English Premier League side get revenge in Bruges on Tuesday?

Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Betting Tips & Predictions

Club Brugge are an incredibly tough nut to crack on their own patch, but St Liege ended their unbeaten home run in the last one. We fancy Aston Villa to snatch a narrow victory in Belgium on Tuesday.

A single goal settled the previous Brugge vs Villa meeting, and there is great value in the 1-0 away win at 7.75. The Aston Villa clean sheet at 3.20 is also worth having a punt on.
