Aston Villa

Aston Villa will be bidding to make it four wins on the bounce in this season’s Champions League when they come up against Club Brugge on Wednesday evening.

Having posted a perfect three wins from three, Unai Emery's side are setting the early pace in the new look league phase.

After defeating Young Boys before claiming the scalp of Bayern Munich, Villa beat Bologna 2-0 on matchday three, on a night where my Villa Park Bet Builder landed.

However, Villa will head to Belgium off the back of a bruising 4-1 defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, which was their first loss in the top-flight since August. 

As for Club Brugge, they defeated Sturm Graz 1-0 either side of losses to both Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan respectively, the latter of which saw our man Gabriel deliver a San Siro clean sweep.

On the domestic front, Nicky Hayen’s side have won each of their last three matches, though they currently trail league leaders Genk by seven points.

How the bookies view it: Villa set for another victory

Aston Villa are 11/10 favourites on Betano to extend their winning run in this season’s Champions League to four matches.

Club Brugge are 23/10 outsiders on Betano, while an all square affair at the Jan Breydel Stadium has been chalked up at 12/5 with the same oddsmaker.

Head to head: A first-ever encounter

Club Brugge and Aston Villa will do battle for the very first time on Wednesday evening. The Belgian champions last came up against English opposition in this competition three years ago, losing heavily both home and away to star-studded Man City.

Players to watch: Duran on song?

Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran could be unleashed from the start on matchday four, making him an attractive anytime goalscorer option at 13/5 on Bet 365. The Colombian ace already has two goals to his name in this season’s Champions League, having scored against both Bayern Munich and Bologna.

Club Brugge will hope Hans Vanaken can inspire them to what would be a famous victory on Wednesday evening. The Belgian international has registered a notable nine goals involvements across his 13 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season so far.

Predicted line-ups

Club Brugge will be without midfielder Raphael Onyedika, who was shown a straight red card against AC Milan on  matchday two.

Aston Villa boss Emery may shuffle his pack this midweek, with the aforementioned Duran and Leon Bailey both expected to come back into the starting XI.

Club Brugge: Mignolet; Seys, Spileers, Mechele, De Cuyper; Vetlesen, Ardon Jashari ; Skoras, Vanaken, Tzolis; Jutgla

Aston Villa: Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Kamara; Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey; Duran

Anything else catch the eye?

Aston Villa have been priced up at even-money on William Hill to score two or more goals on Wednesday evening and that price holds plenty of appeal.

Villa bagged three goals away at Young Boys and they delivered two strikes in their home success over Bologna.

Emery’s side is laced with firepower and multiple strikes should be within range against a Club Brugge side that shipped three goals against both Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
