Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
An electric atmosphere is expected at Villa Park on Wednesday night when Aston Villa take on Club Brugge in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash. The winner of this tie between the Villans and Blauw-Zwart will move on to face either Liverpool or Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-final. Check out our match prediction below!
Aston Villa is firmly in the driver’s seat in this contest after securing a 3-1 victory at Jan Breydelstadion last week. The Villans will now host a Belgian opponent in a European competition for the first time since April 1982 when they beat Anderlecht in the European Cup. FCB, on the other hand, have never won an away game in England in a major European competition in 14 attempts (W0 D2 L12), including defeats in their last five such matches.
With the clear advantage in the tie, bookmakers have installed the hosts as favourites in this contest. Let’s get into the key stats.

Aston Villa - Club Brugge: Form Analysis
After securing that excellent result in the first leg of this tie, Aston Villa are now aiming to become the ninth different English side to qualify for the Champions League quarter-final.
The Villans have progressed from 12 of their last 14 major European ties after winning the first leg, though the most recent of those results came in the 1998-99 season over Celta Vigo in the UEFA Cup.
The hosts will also be extremely confident in their chances of reaching the last eight in this edition, having avoided defeat in all four of their home matches in this competition (W3 D1 L0) so far.
Aston Villa have kept clean sheets in three of their four Champions League home games!
Meanwhile, Club Brugge have lost the first leg at home in six previous major European ties and were unable to turn the tide, eliminated in the second leg on each of those occasions.
The Blauw-Zwart have bowed out in nine of their last 10 European ties overall after losing the first leg, with the exception coming last season against Molde in the UEFA Conference League.
The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road in this competition, currently holding a record of two wins, one draw and two losses in their five Champions League outings while maintaining just one clean sheet in that time.

Aston Villa & Club Brugge Squad Analysis
Marco Asensio marked his Champions League debut for Aston Villa with their third goal last week. The Spaniard has now scored five goals in his last four appearances for the Lions.
Asensio, along with shot-stopper Emiliano Martinez, were both rested over the weekend in the victory against Brentford, but the duo are expected to return to the starting lineup in midweek.
January arrivals Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia will not feature for the hosts this week, as neither was registered for the Champions League squad.
Asensio has scored four goals in his last two home games for Aston Villa!
Ferran Jutgla bagged a brace in Club Brugge’s 3-1 victory against Cercle Brugge over the weekend, and the visitors will need a big performance from their frontman here to overturn this deficit.
Chemsdine Talbi netted twice in the side’s remarkable second-leg performance against Atalanta in the playoff round, and he will be the major threat to Villa’s defence down the left wing.

Our Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Prediction
Club Brugge have it all to do when they arrive in Birmingham this week, but they will take some confidence from the fact that they were well in the contest last week until the closing stages and beat this opponent without conceding on matchday four.
However, that win was in Belgium, while here at Villa Park, the Villans have been formidable and will know that an early goal here will likely put the tie to bed. Our Aston Villa vs Club Brugge prediction is both teams to score.
