Team News

Club Brugge
Aston Villa
  • Raphael Onyedika is ruled out for Club Bruges ahead of Tuesday's welcome of Aston Villa, and is joined on the sidelines by Joaquin Seys.
  • Onyedika missed the 1-1 draw with Gent at the weekend, and head coach Nicky Hayen may go with a 4-4-2 setup once more, while Kyriani Sabbe is set to deputise at right-back.
  • Hayen may make one further personnel change for the game against Villa, with Christos Tzolis coming into the side on the left.
  • Emiliano Martinez recovered in time to start Friday's win over Cardiff, and should keep his place between the sticks.
  • Boubacar Kamara was fit enough for the bench against the Bluebirds, though Unai Emery is unlikely to throw the Frenchman back into the XI straight away.
  • With Andres Garcia ineligible, Ezri Konsa may start at right-back with Axel Disasi partnering Lamine Bogarde at the heart of the defence.
  • Amadou Onana and Matty Cash will also be assessed but Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen miss out, the latter having not been included in Villa's Champions League squad.
  • Pau Torres has also been included in the travelling squad but is likely to start from the bench having not featured since the 2-2 draw with Brighton.

Prediction

  • Saturday's 1-1 draw with Gent means Club Bruges have won just one of their last four in all competitions. That victory, though, did come in the Champions League as they beat Atalanta 3-1 in Bergamo last month.
  • Aston Villa have a dire away record coming into Tuesday's game in Belgium. Unai Emery has overseen three successive away defeats following last week's 4-1 loss at Crystal Palace, and just two wins in their last 12 on the road.
  • Villa will hope to remain in the last-16 tie ahead of the return to Villa Park next week. Club Bruges, who have a decent home record this season, may just claim a first leg advantage, yet it'll be close on Tuesday evening.
