Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Bradley Gibbs | in Champions League Picks
The UEFA Champions League knockouts begin on Tuesday, when eight of the remaining 16 teams will begin their push for continental glory. In the historic Belgian city of Brugge, Club Brugge and Aston Villa will clash, and not for the first time this season.
Up against the current UEFA Europa League holders, the Belgians weren't expected to make it through the play-off round, though they showed that they're to be taken very seriously at this level by beating Atalanta not only at home, but on the road too, recording a rather commanding 5-2 aggregate victory. Following that impressive showing, the hosts will fancy themselves to make Villa work very hard, which is exactly what they did during the league phase of this competition.
By performing very well during the league phase, especially at home, the Villans bypassed the play-off round, entering the knockouts direct, meaning that they've had a little more time to think about and prepare for this fixture, though they'll need to do better than they did when visiting Jan Breydel Stadion back November, that's for sure.

Club Brugge - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
In terms of overall form, the hosts don't exactly come into this fixture in flying form. Last time out, they tied with Gent on the road, a result the followed a rather disappointing home defeat to St. Liege. However, it must be said that the Belgians have been preserving themselves for this, so we can expect them to be at their best here.
the Belgians have been preserving themselves for this matchup
For Aston Villa, safe passage to the FA Cup quarter-finals was secured at the weekend, with Unai Emery's men continuing to fight on multiple fronts. That result was a much-needed bounce-back following their mid-week defeat to Crystal Palace, and we must be honest and say that consistency isn't something that Tuesday's visitors have specialized in recently.

Club Brugge & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
The winter mercato paid off for Aston Villa. Thanks to the duo of Rashford and Asencio, the Villans got the job done to defeat Cardiff City in the F.A Cup. A quality squad dreaming of a quarter-final next week. Add to this the Rodgers - Watkins - Bailey trio in attack and the Tielemans - McGinn pairing in midfield, and you have a starting XI capable of making the difference in Belgium.
There's no need for Clube Brugge to be in a hurry.
However, Mignolet and his defensive partners will have to close ranks as no clean sheet has been used in five games. On the other side of the pitch, Jutgla will be the main threat to Bruges' attack with three goals in a row. With the support of Tzolis, who provided two assists against Bergamo, the home side have what it takes to create danger in their opponents' box.
