Aston Villa and Bayern Munich meet in a highly anticipated Champions League fixture at Villa Park on Wednesday, October 1. Both teams come into the match off the back of strong domestic and European campaigns, making this clash a high-stakes battle.
Villa looks to extend its fairy-tale European journey, while Bayern aims to solidify its dominance in the competition.
Villa hope their recent form and home advantage will give them the edge. Meanwhile, Bayern, known for their attacking prowess, are fresh off a record-breaking performance in their previous Champions League match.
🟣Villa Look to Record Historic Win at Home | Home Win = 4.31💵
Unai Emery’s side will look to make it a memorable return to the UEFA Champions League for all Villa fans when they face one of the competition’s most decorated sides on Wednesday.
Aston Villa’s return to Champions League football after centuries has been nothing short of impressive. They began their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Young Boys.
Now, back at home, Villa look to build on their excellent form with an incredible win over Vincent Kompany’s Bayern, having won six of their last eight matches in all competitions.
🔴Bayern Aim to Continue Champions League Dominance | Away Win = 1.80💵
Bayern Munich enter this match as favourites and for good reason. The German giants are in sensational form, having smashed Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in their opening Champions League match.
Led by the in-form Harry Kane, Bayern’s attack is one of the most potent in Europe, having scored an astonishing 30 goals in their last seven matches.
Despite a slight setback in a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, Vincent Kompany’s men are widely expected to continue their dominance on the European stage. Their unbeaten run in Champions League group stages stands at 41 matches, making them a formidable opponent for any team.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Aston Villa will miss captain John McGinn due to a hamstring injury, while Matty Cash is also ruled out. However, attacking options remain strong, with Ollie Watkins leading the line. Jhon Duran, who has scored four goals this season, may also be a key figure in Villa’s attack.
Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane is expected to start despite limping off last weekend. Michael Olise and Kane, both in prolific form, will pose a significant threat to Villa’s defence. Bayern, however, are without Sacha Boey and Josip Stanisic due to injuries.
