Aston Villa vs Club Brugge: Match Preview
Aston Villa’s domestic form has been up and down this season at times.
At the end of February, they lurched from a draw and a win against top-four sides Liverpool and Chelsea respectively, straight into a 4-1 defeat at the hands of mid-table Crystal Palace.
The one consistent has been their European form, but on Wednesday evening they face one of the only teams on the continent to better them.
Of course, that 1-0 defeat was back in November and in the league phase of the competition – Villa won the first leg of this tie 3-1 – but if nothing else it proves their Belgian visitors have enough in the tank to grab a result.
Seeing Robin Olsen replace Emiliano Martinez against Brentford at the weekend may have given Brugge another twinkle of hope, but that has since been dashed by Emery‘s confirmation that his first-choice gloveman is available after all.
But notching two unanswered goals – the minimum required to get to extra-time – at Villa Park looks a tall order for a Brugge side with no clean sheets and just two wins in their last five in all competitions.
