Command Analysis
Aston Villa
EnglandCurrent form
Aston Villa came to the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the playoffs, but at the same time it was very difficult to compete for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals, the lions clearly lack experience at this level. However, it became obvious at the start that Unai Emery's team was capable of fighting for a place in the top eight, and the lions scored three wins in their opening three matches.
In general, Aston Villa spent the league stage smoothly, but everything was decided in the last round – a 4-2 home victory over Celtic secured the final eighth place. In the 1/8 finals, the lions had to face Brugge, which the Villains lost 0:1 away at the league stage. However, this time the Birmingham team did not allow themselves mistakes – the 3-1 victory became a serious bid for the quarterfinals.
In the Premier League, Aston Villa clearly expected to compete for a place in the Champions League before the start of the season and had everything they needed to achieve their goal, although the competition was certainly off the charts. So far, the lions are far from their goal and occupy only the eighth place in the table with 45 points, four points behind fourth Chelsea. However, the fifth place can theoretically secure a ticket to the Champions League, only two points are missing.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are questions about the readiness of Martinez, Onana, Asensio and Barkley for the match.

Club Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
For objective reasons, Brugge could not count on a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals, but at the same time, experience in the international arena and the selection of players obliged them to fight for a place in the top 24. Starting with a crushing 0-3 defeat by Borussia Dortmund, Brugge gradually managed to improve and join the fight for a place in the 1/16 finals - as a result, with great difficulty, the black and blue turned out to be 24th in the table and got the much-coveted ticket to the playoffs.
In the 1/16 finals, Brugge had to face off against Atalanta, against which the Belgian champion had virtually no chance. However, in the first match, Nicky Hayen's team unexpectedly won 2-1, and in the return match they won 3-1 even more sensationally and went on. It was not possible to create another sensation in the 1/8 finals – a 1-3 defeat by Aston Villa leaves a minimum chance for the quarterfinals.
In the Belgian championship, Brugge was considered the main contender for the championship title before the start of the season, but several mistakes at the start allowed Genk to take the lead. As a result, the black and blue are still unable to catch up with their competitor and are nine points behind, but the second stage of the championship awaits, where they will have to play only with representatives of the top six, so this handicap is not yet critical.
Disqualifications and injuries
Meyer and Seis are injured.
Interesting betting trends

2.35Tip and bets
Aston Villa dealt with Brugge very confidently in the first match, but it is unlikely that the lions will only try to hold the advantage today – the Villains are traditionally very strong and productive on their own field. Brugge will have to take risks and leave a lot of space for the opponent, it is unlikely that the guests have a real chance to win back to zero. At the same time, the black and blue play attacking football, have a very decent attacking line even by the standards of the Champions League and score in 12 consecutive matches - the guests are quite capable of responding with one goal in Birmingham.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on the outcome
Aston Villa has already decided a lot in the first match and demonstrated that today they are significantly superior to their opponent in all respects, having secured a confident and not accidental victory away. The lions will certainly try to develop an advantage at home – it should be easier to play today, the opponent will open up and leave free zones where Aston Villa's fast attacking players are capable of a lot. Bruges in its current state is hardly capable of such a feat, it makes sense to give preference to the lions in the return meeting.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Aston Villa. This bet is offered for 2.05
Combined bid
Aston Villa will definitely be determined to win today, even though they have gained an advantage away from home – the lions are practically flawless on all fronts. The task for the hosts is quite feasible, Brugge is inferior in class and far from perfect in defense, it makes sense to count on another victory for the lions. At the same time, it will be difficult to beat the black and blue dry, the Belgians play openly and score not even in their most successful matches.
The bet is that Aston Villa will win and both will score. Such a bet is offered for 3.00
