Club Brugge v Aston Villa Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 5.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 6th November 2024
Aston Villa are sitting proudly at the summit of the new-look Champions League table after three rounds of fixtures and the West Midlands side will look to make it a perfect four when they travel to Brugge on Thursday evening.
Maximum points
Alongside Liverpool, Aston Villa are one of just two sides sitting on maximum points after three rounds of Champions League fixtures and their excellent start is even more remarkable for the fact that this is their debut appearance in the competition. Since the European Cup was remodelled as the Champions League in the early 90s, just three sides have managed wins in their opening four games, these being AC Milan (1993), PSG (1994) and Juventus (1995), while none of these achieved this feat whilst keeping a clean sheet in each match.
Dip in form
Nevertheless, Unia Emery’s men are just a single game away from managing this achievement, the West Midlands outfit having enjoyed wins-to-nil against Young Boys (3-0), Bayern Munich (1-0) and Bologna (2-0). Villa have dropped down to sixth position in the Premier League on account of their recent domestic dip in form and following an exit from the Carabao Cup following a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace last week, Emery will be aiming to get things back on track on Thursday evening.
Winless run
Brugge’s winless run against English sides stretches back 14 games with eleven defeats along the way, therefore history certainly isn’t on their side. The Belgians have already leaked six goals whilst on Champions League duty this season but they have started their defence of their domestic title in decent fashion, despite trailing leaders Genk by seven points.
Red hot
Club Brugge have been far from watertight at the back in this season’s Champions League and it is certainly asking a lot of them to keep league leaders Aston Villa at bay for 90 minutes. Indeed, Villa have been red hot in this competition so far and we envisage them getting the edge here but losing their clean sheet record into the bargain.
Back Aston Villa to win and both teams to score at best odds of 3/1
