The second matchday of the UEFA Champions League takes place this week as clubs across the competition adapt to the new league phase. Aston Villa is set to host Bayern Munich at Villa park this Wednesday.
Recent Meetings
Both teams have only met once back in 1982 at finals that were held at Villa Park.
Team News
Aston Villa under Unai Emery, have confirmed that John McGinn from Scotland will miss out on Wednesday night as the ex-Hibernian midfielder deals with a thigh injury. Likewise, while the duo of Boubacar Kamara and Tyronne Mings might be inching towards a return following respective long-term knee injuries, neither will feature here. Once again getting on the scoresheet away at Ipswich over the weekend and now notching four goals in as many appearances, Ollie Watkins will lead Emery’s charge. Arriving from Everton this summer, Amadou Onana will partner Youri Tielemans in the middle of the park.
In what could be a big blow for Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, Kompany’s side have confirmed that Harry Kane sustained an ankle injury against Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend and is seen as a real doubt here. Likewise, still dealing with a knee issue, former Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey will not feature at Villa Park. Despite announcing his international retirement over the summer, Thomas Muller could make a first start of the season in midweek. Enjoying what has been a recent resurgence under Kompany, Min-Jae Kim should partner Dayot Upamecano at the back.
Probable Line-Ups
Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Onana, Tielemans, Bailey, Rogers, Ramsay, Watkins.
Bayern Munich XI: Neuer, Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim Min-Jae, Davies, Kimmich, Pavlovic, Musiala, Gnabry, Kane.
Verdict
Starting with the hosts, while Aston Villa might have been left frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate away at Premier League returners Ipswich, Unai Emery’s men should take plenty of positives away from another bright start to proceedings.
Bet on Bayern Munich Win
Reason: Bayern Munich is favored to win due to their deeper and more experienced squad, and if they take advantage of their attacking strengths, they should secure the victory.
