Aston Villa come up against a familiar foe as they look to shelve their domestic woes for Tuesday's Champions League trip to Club Brugge. The two clubs have met three times previously and all of them came in the 2024-25 season - Villa’s first European Cup campaign since 1983.
Club Brugge drew first blood with a 1-0 home win in the league phase thanks to Hans Vanaken’s second-half penalty, but Villa gained revenge in the last 16 as they progressed through with a 6-1 aggregate win.
That victory on home soil is Club Brugge’s only win in their last 19 meetings with English clubs but they will be hopeful of ending that run against a Villa side still reeling from a summer of turmoil.
The Europa League champions have had a miserable start to the season and we can see it continuing in Belgium , with our initial Club Brugge vs Aston Villa prediction being a home win @ 6/4 , and we think it could well be 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 @ 7/2 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost.

Form Guides
Club Brugge form guide
Club Brugge were crowned Belgian champions for the seventh time in 11 years last season and they are back up amongst the early front-runners again this term. Ivan Leko's side are third in the Pro League after picking up 12 points from five games and have kept four clean sheets in that run - including Friday’s 1-0 win at Lommel .
On the goalscoring front, Nicolo Tresoldi netted in Club Brugge’s opening three games and the Germany Under-21 international is 33/1 to score the only goal tomorrow and 5/1 to open the scoring in the Club Brugge vs Aston Villa odds.
Midfield stalwart Vanaken , who notched Club Brugge’s consolation in last month’s 2-1 loss at league leaders Gent , is 7/2 to repeat his 2024 goal against Villa . Don’t forget that with BOYLE Sports' Sub Swap feature, if your selected player is substituted then your bet will immediately transfer to his replacement.
Aston Villa form guide
Villa’s fantastic 2025-26 season, in which they won their first European title since 1982, finished fourth in the Premier League and equalled a club-record 11 successive wins, is fast becoming a distant memory. They have seen many of their biggest stars move on, including six of the side that started May's Europa League final win over Freiburg , and are still searching for their first win after four competitive matches this season.
Emery’s men may have been unfortunate to have been beaten in the UEFA Super Cup , going down 2-1 to Paris St Germain, but they were then thrashed 4-0 by Brighton before losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal . Villa finally picked up their first point on Saturday, but a goalless draw at promoted Hull will probably not assuage the concerns of some supporters following the loss of key players such as Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Emi Martinez.
That disruption has undoubtedly contributed to the fact the Villains have yet to score in the league and we can see them drawing another blank tomorrow @ 3/1 . A goalless draw is 11/1 and could be worth considering, with Villa likely to view that as a good result considering all that has happened.
