Club Brugge v Aston Villa prediction

Aston Villa crestAston VillaLDWWL

What to expect

We expect about 0.9 goals from Club Brugge and 2.1 from Aston Villa, so Aston Villa come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Aston Villa to win. Aston Villa shade this one on the numbers (xG 0.9-2.1), and we make them about 75% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.

We put the chance of that landing at about 75 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.55, which works out at about 39 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Aston Villa have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

Club Brugge only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty.

Lille are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.6-0.7), and we make them about 84% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
