Aston Villa v Bayern Munich Betting Tips
Aston Villa v Bayern Munich Match Preview
Aston Villa will pit their wits against Bayern Munich in their second Champions League group phase game on Wednesday evening.
Villa Park is likely to be rocking and perhaps there was a certain element of fate that brought these two sides together.
Well, this week’s meeting will mark a repeat of the 1982 European Cup Final in which Villa got the better of their illustrious Bundesliga guests.
Going into this game, Villa, who have been solid in the Premier League, are coming off the back of a 2-2 draw with Ipswich.
Nevertheless, they will be looking to get stuck into Bayern, and they started their Champions League campaign with a rousing 3-0 win over Young Boys on Matchday 1.
Bayern, meanwhile, tore Dinamo Zagreb to shreds in a 9-2 drubbing, but one potential boost for Villa is that Harry Kane might have to sit out the clash after injuring himself in a collision during the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend.
I’m excited about this game and I hope you feel the same way. I’ve dissected the markets and handpicked a couple of Aston Villa v Bayern Munich betting tips for your perusal.
Aston Villa to pick up a creditable draw
At first glance, it would be easy to write off Aston Villa, but games aren’t won on paper.
If this match were at the Allianz Arena, then perhaps I would have this down as a home banker for Bayern Munich.
Of course, they come into this with plenty of pedigree, and compared to last season, they have been more threatening under Vincent Kompany.
Villa, meanwhile, have a master tactician in Unai Emery. He’s seen it all and got the t-shirt and his side’s brand of football is a thrill to watch.
Yes, their inability to claim all three points against Ipswich last weekend will have been a source of frustration, and Bayern will pose some serious problems.
Regardless of whether Kane starts or not, the wizardry of Jamal Musiala will keep Villa on their toes.
I think that Villa will surprise the neutral here, and while they won’t stun Bayern, both teams sharing the points doesn’t seem like an unrealistic prospect. To open my Aston Villa v Bayern Munich betting tips, William Hill has priced up odds of 16/5 for the draw which is worth jumping on.
Bayern Munich to rack up the corner count
Although Bayer Leverkusen checked Bayern’s goal-crazy mode, Bayern invariably cause teams problems.
They can pass sides off the park and you can end up on a dizzying carousel, the kind that Sir Alex Ferguson once referred to with Barcelona when they were at the peak of their powers under Pep Guardiola.
Anyway, Villa will need to soak up a lot of pressure against Bayern who can create chances and openings at the tip of a hat.
While I have gone with a draw for my first pick, I’m going for the Over/Under corner section and for there to be over 14 corners across the 90 minutes.Â
Odds of 10/1 have been served up by bet365, and I expect Bayern to dominate this stat if that outcome is fulfilled.Â
