In the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Aston Villa will face PSG. The match will take place in Birmingham on Tuesday, April 15. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 Central European Time. I propose a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
Aston Villa continues to battle on three fronts, and reaching the Champions League quarterfinals is already a huge achievement for the team. Their chances of advancing further are slim, considering the 1-3 defeat in Paris.
In the Premier League, the Birmingham club sits in fifth position and is seriously vying for a Champions League spot next season. Undoubtedly, the team's main hero is their coach, Unai Emery.
The Parisians have already secured another league title domestically, allowing them to rest key players in Ligue 1 matches and implement significant rotation.
Under Luis Enrique, PSG plays attractive football and can currently be considered one of the tournament favorites. In the previous round, the French side dealt with Liverpool and looked much stronger than their opponent. It seems Aston Villa won't be able to stop them either.
Match facts
- Aston Villa has won four consecutive home matches.
- PSG has won their last 13 away matches.
- Aston Villa averages 2.2 goals per game at home, while PSG averages 4.4 goals per game away.
Probable lineups
- Aston Villa: Martinez, Disasi, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Tielemans, Kamara, Rogers, Ramsey, Asensio, Rashford.
- PSG: Donnarumma, Mendes, Paco, Marquinhos, Hakimi, Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves, Due, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele.
H2H
The only direct encounter between these teams ended with a 3-1 victory for the Parisians.
Prediction
I don't think the hosts will be able to bring back the intrigue. PSG looks like the stronger team at this stage, so I'm betting on their victory with a handicap of 0.
