Aston Villa wants to secure his place in the Champions League quarterfinals when they welcome Club Brugge at West Midlands on Wednesday night.
Unai Emery has taken a big step towards the last eight in Brugge, seeking a non-disappointed 3-1 victory. Brugge was a superior most of the competition after they lagged on them, but they were prevented by the villas before the visitors were twice late.
Villa They shone in Europe in Villa Park, and the extension of their undefeated race at home in this competition will see them bypassing their Belgian opponents.
Nicky Hayen, however, has already caused a surprise or two at this year’s competition. They gave Manchester City Intimidation in the day of 8 league phases before the amazing Atalanta in the play-offs, winning both legs.
Visitors are also heading for a return leg, on Sunday they requested local bragging rights against Cercle Brugge.

Marco Asensio and Emiliano Martinez missed Saturday’s win in Brentford, but the couple will be available for the other leg on Wednesday. Robin Olsen held a clean list in the absence of the latter.
The Villa Injury List includes only Rossa Barkley with Amadouanan set for the immediate return. The dominant Belgian midfielder is unlikely to start on Wednesday, but he could make a minute from the bench after a few weeks due to knee injury.
Axel Disasi impressed at the beginning of his Villa career and should keep his place in the initial XI, but Emery will have to decide whether the Frenchman will use the right back or at the center of his defense. The head of the villa now, of course, can invite Pau Torres, while Tyrone Mings was the main reason why they won their first leg.
Aston Villa anticipated the line against the Bruggge club (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Disas, Cons, Mings, raise; McGinn, tielemans; Asensio, Rogers, Rashford; Watkins.
Joaquin Seys and Bjorn Meler both deal with the injuries of the lower leg that will have to prevent them again. The couple was also absent for the first leg.
Visitors otherwise have no problems with injuries, and we should see a similar initial XI since last week despite their defeat.
Ferran Jutgl will lead Brugge’s line after scoring a bracelet on the derby victory on weekends.
Club Brugge predicted the VS Aston Villa line (4-2-3-1): Mignolet; SEYS, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Jashari, Vetlesen; Talbi; Vanaken, tzolis; Jutgla.
These two late naked naked Tuesday may have taken a relationship from Brugge, who will take confidence in the latter leg from his appearance in Bergamo.
Villa Park, however, is a scary environment under the lights, and they have a mountain of task if they repeat their heroes from the play-off circle.
Hayen’s men will not make this a procession for Emery’s side, but Villa is well placed to progress to the quarterfinals.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Club Bruggge
