Club Brugge v Aston Villa Preview
Club Brugge’s Form
Club Brugge had a fantastic 23/24 season whereby they initially finished 4th in the Belgian Pro League regular season but would go on to win the Champions Play-Offs following a strong end-of-season run. They also reached the Semi-Finals of both the Belgian Cup and Europa Conference League. This year they’ve started solidly in the league with 24 points from their opening 13 league games though that puts them 7 points behind league leaders Genk.
In the Champions League, they’ve struggled thus far though losing their opening game against Dortmund 0-3. That was followed by a 0-1 win over Austrian side Sturm Graz but in their last group game, they lost 3-1 to Milan. Though they’ve yet to perform in this competition in 24/25 if they can maintain their defensive record from their league form only conceding 7 in 13 games they could earn a few shock results.
They must pick up at least a point in this game with Juventus and Man City to play in 2 of their last 5 games in the league phase.

Aston Villa’s Form
Aston Villa under Unai Emery have become one of the most consistent sides around for both their Domestic and European form. Last season they qualified for this competition by finishing 4th in the league and Semi-Finals of the Europa Conference League. Though they lost 4-1 to Tottenham last weekend they remain on course for a strong 24/25 season with 18 points from 10 games in 6th they’re only 1 point behind third place Nottingham Forest.
Aston Villa opened their Champions League defence with a 0-3 away victory over Young Boys following goals from Tielemans, Ramsey and Duran. However, it was their second league phase game where they won 1-0 against Bayern was the result that made everyone stand up and take notice of them for this campaign. In their most recent game in the competition, they continued their strong start with a 2-0 win over Bologna.
Villa are a potential dark horse for this Champions League campaign and could shock a few of the perceived bigger hitters.

Club Brugge v Aston Villa Head-To-Head Results & Stats
This will be the first-ever competitive meeting between both sides.
Key Players To Watch
Kaye Furo – Club Brugge
The teenager who came through the club's Youth Academy looks to have a very bright future ahead of him already scoring 5 goals from 9 games and just 645 minutes for Club Brugge so far in 24/25.
He’s the shortest price to make the impact despite being unsure of whether or not he starts from the bench. He looks a bright talent though and is 13/2 to score first or 5/2 to score anytime.
Ollie Watkins – Aston Villa
Aston Villa’s biggest attacking threat Watkins has continued his flying form from the 23/24 season with 5 goals and 3 assists from 13 games and his pace, finishing and link-up play could cause Club Brugge some serious defensive problems.
He is 9/2 to be the first goal scorer and 6/4 to score at any time.
Club Brugge v Aston Villa Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Club Brugge 0-2 Aston Villa
Club Brugge are a progressive club and if they can take their defensive record from the league into this competition they will pick up points.
Aston Villa may have lost at the weekend, but their statistical performance suggests they are a better team than their 4-1 defeat to Tottenham.
Villa are a very good team, and I think they win with goals to spare in this game.
Best Bet: Aston Villa -1 @ 3/1
