Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Prediction & Picks - Champions League

 by Simon Day in Champions League Picks

Aston Villa are huge favorites to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League, as they take a 3-1 lead into this Wednesday's second leg against outsiders Club Brugge. Last week's first leg looked to be heading for a draw, after Leon Bailey's second minute opener for Villa was swiftly canceled out by a close range Maxim de Cuyper strike. The rest of the game was an even affair until Brugge suffered a late implosion that dramatically swung the tie firmly in Villa's favor. Firstly, defender Brandon Mechele inexplicably diverted a low cross into his own goal, before a needless foul on Matty Cash allowed Marco Asencio to make it 1-3 from the penalty spot. Brugge had plenty of chances to reduce their deficit, but Christos Tzolis and Hans Vanaken were guilty of missing big opportunities, leaving the Belgian champions with a mountain to climb at Villa Park.

Aston Villa - Club Brugge: Form Analysis

Villa are still just about in the race for a top four Premier League finish, but they have struggled to replicate the excellent form that saw them qualify for this season's Champions League. However, their displays at Villa Park have remained strong and it has now been 15 games since they were beaten on their home turf. In the Champions League, they defeated the likes of Bayern Munich, Bologna and Celtic to secure a top eight finish and automatic qualification for the last 16. 

Brugge on a high following derby day success

Brugge warmed up for Wednesday night with an important 1-3 victory over local rivals Cercle Brugge. That result ensured the reigning champions remained in second place in the Belgian First Division and on track to qualify for Europe next season. However, they remain nine points behind leaders Genk and seem unlikely to retain the title they have won in four of the last five seasons. Their best result of the season occurred in the Champions League playoff round, when they produced an incredible display to defeat hotly tipped Italian side Atalanta 6-2 on aggregate.

Aston Villa & Club Brugge Squad Analysis

Villa goalkeeper Emi Martínez and on-loan forward Marco Asensio were surprise injury absences for Saturday's game at Brentford. Both are doubtful for Wednesday night's game, so Robin Olson is expected to continue in goal whilst Marcus Rashford would be in line for a start in attack. Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley also remain on the sidelines for Villa, but Pau Torress and Boubcar Kamara are available for selection after recovering from injury. 

Brugge almost at full strength

The only injury absence for Brugge will be full back Joaquin Seys, who suffered a hamstring injury in the recent 1-1 draw with Gent. Aside from that, manager Nicky Hayen will be able to choose from a fully fit squad, as he attempts to complete a shock second leg turnaround.

Our Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Prediction

Villa are still not quite at their best, but they should have more than enough to get past a Brugge side that have massively overacheived to reach this stage of the competition. Unsurprisingly, Villa are a very short price to win the second leg, and whilst we don't disagree with that verdict, we have spotted a bit of value in the markets. Villa rarely keep clean sheets and the Belgian side caused them plenty of problems in the first leg. As such, we would not be surprised to see the Belgians get themselves onto the scoresheet in a losing effort. Our prediction for Aston Villa vs Club Brugge is: Villa to win and both teams to score.
