Barcelona take on Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League, with the main tip being Barcelona to win and both teams to score. Barcelona have won 10 of their last 12 UCL league phase games and are unbeaten in their last 15 home matches against English sides, but have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 18 UCL outings. Aston Villa are in good form, having won seven of their last 10 games, and are expected to find the net even in defeat. Nicolas Jackson and Joao Cancelo are also noted as potential goalscorers.

Barcelona vs Aston Villa UEFA Champions League Tips & Prediction


More goals should be on the menu as Barcelona play host to Aston Villa on Matchday 4 of the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Barcelona will be aiming to bounce back from their first UCL loss of the season to PSG, while Villa will be looking to prove themselves against elite opposition after putting together an impressive run of form.

However, beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp is probably too tall a mountain to climb - but Villa can get on the scoresheet in defeat. Nicolas Jackson looks good value to continue his red-hot scoring form, while Joao Cancelo also looks overpriced in a Barca side that could easily score 4+ here.

Barcelona vs Aston Villa Head To Head

Barcelona lead 2-1 alongside one draw, with all four meetings coming over 40 years ago.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 15 home games against English opposition (winning 10), while Villa have lost their last three outings vs Spanish opposition.

Barcelona Form Analysis

Barcelona have run rampant to start the season and were undisputedly the best team on the planet - however, they are only two points clear at the top of the La Liga ladder and currently sit in eighth spot on the UCL table.

Hansi Flick's side won every game they played up until Matchday 3 of the UCL, where they were outgunned 4-2 by two-time defending winners PSG in the French capital.

It ended up being back-to-back defeats for Barcelona as they went down 2-1 in El Clasico to Real Madrid, but the reigning La Liga champions bounced back emphatically at the weekend, crushing Alaves 6-1.

Aston Villa Form Analysis

After a slow start to the Premier League season, Villa are into the top half of the ladder, beating Man City and Tottenham during that mini-run before a draw with Fulham this past weekend.

Villa are humming in the Champions League, winning all three of their games against Club Brugge, Viking and Fenerbahce - the last of which a 6-0 thumping.

It's been an outstanding rebuild from Unai Emery as Villa look to win their 15th game in their last 17 European outings.
