Competition: Champions League Date: Wednesday, 2nd October, 2024 Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST Venue: Villa Park (Birmingham) Unai Emery completely reformed Aston Villa. Last year, they finished 4th in the Premier League, which was their best finish since the 1995/96 season when they also finished fourth. In the Conference League, they also had a decent run, as they reached the Semi-Finals but were eliminated by Olympiacos. This year, the Villans once again opened the season well in all competitions. They are in 5th place in the Premier League with 13 points in six rounds, just two away from the top spot! When it comes to the Champions League, Emery's squad opened the season with a dominant 3:0 win over Young Boys in Switzerland but will now have a much more difficult job against Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich came to this season after a terrible one last year, considering they failed to win any trophy, which is unacceptable for their standard. This year, the Bavarians started the season much better in all competitions. They hold the top spot in the Bundesliga with 13 points from five games and are also at the top of the Champions League after dismantling Dinamo Zagreb in the first round 9:2. Like almost every year in the recent past, the Bavarians are one of the primary contenders for the CL title. The bookies see them as the third favorite, only behind Manchester City and Real Madrid. Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich pick: Over 3.5 goals Aston Villa are in excellent form, winning five out of the last six games while scoring two or more goals every time. They are a team that plays offensive football, and their ability to score is unquestionable, especially at Villa Park. Last year, they scored 48 goals at home in 19 Premier League rounds, compared to only 28 goals away from it. So, scoring a goal or a couple against pretty much anyone in the world is a completely real scenario. Bayern Munich have been incredible this year, winning six out of seven games in all competitions. They scored an astonishing number of 34 goals so far - 4.86 per game! Mostly due to a fantastic offense, Bayern Munich were over 3.5 goals in five out of seven games - 71%. Considering both teams' fantastic offensive displays this year, along with all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
