Aston Villa vs Club Brugge Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/12/25

Aston Villa’s first-ever Champions League campaign has been mightily successful already, with Unai Emery guiding his team through the League Phase with relative ease, finishing 8th, and they have made a great start in landing a spot in the quarterfinals.  The Villans beat Club Brugge 3-1 on the road last week, meaning they hold a great advantage ahead of the 2nd leg. Emery’s team is in fine form, digging deep to beat Brentford 1-0 on Saturday to make it 5 wins and just 1 loss in their last 8 matches, and it is hard to envisage anything other than a home win at Villa Park, where they have been strong for a while now.  Villa have lost just 2 of their 23 home matches this season with wins over Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as ties with Liverpool and Juventus, and a home victory can be expected on Wednesday.

However, Brugge held their own in the first leg and can at least find the net. The Belgians can take positives from their first-leg defeat, as well as the fact they beat the Villans 1-0 during the League Phase. Both teams have scored in 11 of Brugge’s last 12 matches and, with the same bet clicking in 6 of Villa’s last 8, it could pay to combine that selection with a home win on Wednesday night.
