Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Aston Villa will look to win their first UCL game at Villa Park

Premier League side Aston Villa will lock horns against the German giants Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. Both teams in their league are in a good position and are playing some really good football on the pitch. Under Unai Emery, Villa have improved by leaps and bounds and they also won their first match back in the Champions League against Young Boys in Matchday 1. They will look to continue their amazing performance against Bayern.

Vincent Kompany has brought in a new sense of confidence in Bayern’s attacking department as they are scoring a lot of goals and in their previous games they have trashed the opponents. They played a 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen and their previous UCL game they defeated Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb by 9-2. This away game against Villa will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)

Jacob Ramsey possesses brilliant footballing intelligence, with a sense of when to push up closer to the centre forward and when to play between the lines. Ramsey is a strong carrier of the ball and likes to take on defenders himself. Ramsey can find pockets of space and can exploit them very well. He perfectly fits in the system of Unai Emery and can make a difference on the pitch. He has long sides and can drag defenders with himself and is not a selfish player and always helps out his teammates as well.

Aleksandar Pavlovic (Bayern Munich)

Pavlovic brings a sense of defensive stability to Bayern Munich‘s midfield, he is not gifted defensively in that he wins a lot of physical duels in the middle but rather he is a master of organising the defensive line and midfield. The youngster has done wonders singlehandedly re-organising Bayern’s structure from the top down out of possession.

He is a joy to watch in the first phase of buildup, the midfielder shows up everywhere no matter what side of the pitch the ball is on. Even though he still has scope for improvement he is capable of helping his team to get three points.
