Club Brugge vs Aston Villa tips
Our Bet Builder selections: Draw, under 2.5 goals and Emiliano Buendia 2+ shots on target at 19/1. ADD TO YOUR BET SLIP HERE!
Here’s why we’ve made those selections..
- Draw: Both sides look defensively sound and should cancel each other out. Club Brugge have conceded just once in five games this season, while only Arsenal have a better expected goals conceded record than Aston Villa over their last two Premier League matches.
- Under 2.5 goals: Though the defences look solid, neither attack has been prolific to start the season. Club Brugge haven’t managed to score more than once in any of their last three matches, while Villa haven’t scored and have managed just a single shot on target.
- Emiliano Buendia 2+ shots on target: Emiliano Buendia has been Aston Villa’s most likely scorer this season. He leads the charts for all the important goalscoring metrics, topping the Villa squad for shots, big chances and XG.
