Aston Villa vs. Bayern Munich Preview
The Villans are on fire when it comes to scoring. Following their loss to Arsenal in the second round of the Premiership, they went on to win in the following five meetings before playing 2-2 this Sunday against Ipswich on the road. Not only that, Aston Villa scored at least twice in each of those contests.
What we need to add is that the offensive productivity covered up one pretty negative fact for Unai Emery—the defense has kept one clean sheet all year. That might be a problem in the upcoming period, especially against Bayern.
The Bavarians ended their winning streak against the team that dethroned them in Bundesliga—Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso and the boys took one point from Munich, playing 1-1 at the Allianz Arena. This was their fourth consecutive game against this rival without a loss.
Until this game, Bayern was terrifying for the rivals. Dinamo Zagreb experienced their fury, losing 9-2 in Germany. That’s why the team from Munich sits first in the Champions League standings.
Aston Villa vs. Bayern Munich Head to Head
In May 1982, Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich in the UCL finals (at that time European Cup). The result was 1-0 for the English side.
Aston Villa vs. Bayern Munich Prediction
Due to both teams’ fantastic attacking abilities, this will be a high-scoring affair. We expect at least three goals at Villa Park.
- Aston Villa vs. Bayern Munich Pick: Over 2.5 goals
