In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Aston Villa will host Club Brugge at Villa Park on March 12, 2025, at 9:00 PM. After a 3-1 victory in the first leg, the English team will be in a favorable position for the match, but the Belgian champions will do everything to translate.
Team performance
Aston Villa: The English team have won their last three matches, including a 1-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League. Under Unai Emery, Villa have shown consistent form and are particularly strong at home, having gone 15 games unbeaten.
Club Brugge: The Belgian team has won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches. Their most recent win was against Cercle Brugge in the league, a 3-1 victory. Although they lost the first leg, Brugge can also cause surprises away from home.
Important missing items
Aston Villa: The good news for the home team is that three of their key players are set to return for the match. Marco Asensio, Amadou Onana and Emiliano Martínez have all recovered from their injuries, meaning Unai Emery can prepare for the match with a full squad.
Club Brugge: There are no significant missing players on the visitors' side, so head coach Nicky Hayen can field his team in the best possible lineup.
Tactical analysis
Aston Villa: They are expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Ollie Watkins as the key man, with Marcus Rashford, Marko Rog and Leon Bailey supporting the attack behind him. In midfield, Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans are responsible for defending and building the attacks. Axel Disasi and Tyrone Mings provide stability in the defensive axis.
Club Brugge: The visitors also prefer a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Ferran Jutglà as the centre, followed by Christos Tzolis, Hans Vanaken and Chaim Talbi trying to break through Villa's defence. Raphael Onyedika and Ardon Jashari provide balance in midfield, while Brandon Mechele and Jorne Spileers try to stop the English attacks in defence.
Weather conditions
The weather in Birmingham is expected to be mild during the match, with temperatures around 10°C and minimal rainfall. Wind speeds will be low, so the weather will not significantly affect the game.
