Aston Villa host Bayern Munich at Villa Park in their first home outing in the European Cup for 42 years.
On what is a huge Champions League occasion for Villa, their return to Europe is an amazing occasion for all involved at the club, and expect Villa Park to be absolutely electric tonight.
Two brilliant attacking outfits go head-to-head here. Both Villa & Bayern have made good starts to the season, both scoring plenty of goals. Vincent Kompany’s visitors are yet to taste defeat and Villa have lost just one of eight games – against high-flying Arsenal earlier this season.
The Villans have scored in 7/8 games this season, registering 17 goals and scoring 2 or more in the same total of games. The likes of Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers and Jhon Duran have all looked threatening and will be full of confidence going into this game.
Bayern have scored a huge 26 goals in six games. This includes a 9-2 thumping in Matchday 1 vs Dinamo Zagreb and scoring 5, 6 and 3 in their 3 away games this season. Harry Kane has started the season brilliantly as you’d expect, new signing Michael Olise has been absolutely terrific – with 5 goals and 2 assists in 5 games.
Boasting Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman and Thomas Muller, the talent list is endless.
This one seems perfectly setup for a brilliant, open game with plenty of goals.
