Aston Villa face a tough challenge in the Champions League Round of 16.
17:30 Tuesday
Club Brugge meet Aston Villa for the second time in the Champions League, this time in a last-16 tie.
Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Saturday's 1-1 draw with Gent means Club Brugge have won just one of their last four in all competitions.
- That victory, though, did come in the Champions League as they beat Atalanta 3-1 in Bergamo last month.
- Aston Villa have a dire away record coming into Tuesday's game in Belgium. Unai Emery has overseen three successive away defeats following last week's 4-1 loss at Crystal Palace, and just two wins in their last 12 on the road.
- Villa will hope to remain in the last-16 tie ahead of the return to Villa Park next week.
- Club Brugge, who have a decent home record this season, may just claim a first leg advantage, yet it'll be close on Tuesday evening.

Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Team News
- Raphael Onyedika is the only injury concern for Club Brugge ahead of Tuesday's welcome of Aston Villa.
- Onyedika missed the 1-1 draw with Gent at the weekend, and head coach Nicky Hayen may go with a 4-4-2 setup once more.
- Hayen may make one personnel change for the game against Villa, with Christos Tzolis coming into the side on the left.
- Emiliano Martinez recovered in time to start Friday's win over Cardiff, and should keep his place between the sticks.
- Boubacar Kamara was fit enough for the bench, and could start alongside Ezri Konsa at the heart of the defence with Pau Torres out and Tyrone Mings a doubt.
- Amadou Onana and Matty Cash will also be assessed but Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen miss out, the latter having not been included in Villa's Champions League squad.
