Club Brugge vs Aston Villa Tips
- Ferran Jutgla to Score: 3/1 @ Sky Bet
- Morgan Rogers to Score or Assist & Boubacar Kamara to Be Carded: 9/1 @ Betfair
Tip 1
The former La Liga-based forward has nine goals this term having netted in each of his last four matches, including getting on the scoresheet in both knockout play-off legs against Atalanta.
With Jutgla set to lead the line for a dangerous Brugge side at home versus a Villa team who’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 11, 7/2 looks a superb price for him to find the net once again.
Tip 2
Rogers is having a fantastic first full season at Aston Villa, contributing 12 goals and six assists across all competitions and having a hand in a goal in five games this calendar year.
In this competition, he’s produced three goals and an assist so far, firing in a superb hat-trick against Celtic to clinch a top-eight place last time out.
Kamara was fit enough to make the bench on Friday and the midfield maestro will be pivotal to Villa’s chances of navigating this tricky first leg away from home with his incomparable ability to dictate the pace of a game and successfully screen a depleted defence.
Boubacar has picked up two yellows in six UCL matches this season and has also received a card in tough away games versus Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League.
