Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Aston Villa, with the Premier League side carrying the greater quality.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Aston Villa to win and both teams to score16/5Aston Villa arrive as seasoned Champions League operators and will back their quality to take the points in Belgium. Both teams to score looks a fair angle: Villa have conceded in each of their last two outings, shipping four at Brighton, so there are clearly openings at their end, while Villa themselves carry the individual class to find the net on the road. Club Brugge will pose a threat in front of their own supporters, pointing to goals at both ends. With Villa fancied to edge it but unlikely to keep a clean sheet, a Villa win with both teams scoring holds appeal.
Emiliano Buendia to score anytime and Boubacar Kamara to be booked9/1Emiliano Buendía offers Villa a real creative and goal threat, with 21 goals across his Villa career and 24 in his Norwich days, so he rates as a live anytime scorer whenever he is involved. The standout leg, though, is Boubacar Kamara to be booked: the combative midfielder is a serial offender, collecting 21 yellow cards and a red for Villa on top of 32 yellows and three reds during his Marseille days, from a huge tally of fouls. In a fierce Champions League tie, the enforcer looks a strong bet to be carded again.

How Club Brugge go into the game

Club Brugge open their European campaign at home, where they are always a handful. A fast start is the aim under the lights.

Well-drilled and dangerous on the counter, Brugge will fancy an upset against the Premier League side.

How Aston Villa go into the game

Aston Villa were held to a 0-0 draw at Hull last time out but travel with the greater quality. Their European run last season shows the pedigree.

Well-organised and dangerous, Villa should carry enough to take something from Belgium. Three points would be a statement.
