Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips

Our bet builder tips for Club Brugge vs Aston Villa feature Morgan Rodgers over 0.5 shots on target, Vanaken over 0.5 shots on target and Aston Villa to win.

At the time of publishing it is a best price of 10/1 with bet365.

Morgan Rogers has shown a fearless approach in front of goal this season, averaging two shots per game across all competitions. He has found the target in 50% of his Premier League outings and two out of three Champions League matches. Now, he faces an opponent with a shaky defensive record in this competition, conceding an average of two goals per game and allowing 17 shots in their last home fixture.

Meanwhile, Hans Vanaken has been consistently accurate for Club Brugge, hitting the target seven times in his last five games in all competitions. With Aston Villa’s recent defensive lapses in their last three league matches, Vanaken could see chances fall his way.

Aston Villa have flourished in Europe this season, going unbeaten in three games, including a win over Bayern Munich, and securing three clean sheets along the way.

In contrast, Club Brugge have been steady domestically but have not matched last season’s league-winning form, currently sitting seven points behind Genk. Their Champions League struggles continue with two losses in three matches, and against an in-form Villa side, they may face another uphill battle.
