Aston Villa – Bayern Munich Predictions and Preview

  • This is a momentous occasion for Aston Villa, who will host six-time European champions Bayern Munich in their first-ever home UEFA Champions League (UCL) tie. Villa couldn’t have chosen a better opponent for such an event than the team they defeated to win their only European Cup back in 1982. After a comprehensive win against Young Boys on matchday one (3-0), confidence in the home dressing room should be high.
  • That victory is part of an impressive start to the new season for Villa, who have lost only one of their opening eight games (W6, D1). However, the draw came away at newly-promoted Ipswich on Sunday, which left Unai Emery frustrated afterwards. His side did win their first six home matches in Europe last season, which is a good omen for bouncing back here. Nevertheless, the step up from UEFA’s third-tier competition to its highest level is significant and will undoubtedly test the hosts.
  • This is especially true when you consider that they welcome a rampant Bayern Munich side, who have started the new campaign in scintillating form. The only blemish from their opening seven games of the season is a 1-1 draw with reigning German champions Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, and that was a game they statistically dominated throughout.
  • Bayern also made history on matchday one of the UCL, becoming the first side to score nine in a single game as they thrashed Dinamo Zagreb. While Vincent Kompany’s men are sure to walk out to a raucous atmosphere at Villa Park, they are well-experienced in the competition and rarely overawed at this stage. In fact, they travel to England boasting a remarkable record of 41 UCL group/league phase matches without defeat (W37, D4).
  • Players to watch: Villa striker Ollie Watkins has hit top gear at the perfect time, directly contributing to seven goals in his last five matches (G4, A3) – five of which in the first half. Michael Olise, who netted a double in Bayern’s 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo, followed it up with four direct goal contributions in their last away outing (G2, A2). The Frenchman signed off with a H2H assist for Palace in his final club appearance in May before joining Bayern (W 5-0).
  • Hot stat: Bayern have lost just four of their last 35 UCL away games, and yet are winless in their last three such matches (D1, L2).
