My 10* CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH is on Aston Villa at 4:00 EST. Aston Villa plays with revenge here following a 1-0 loss to Club Brugge on November 6th. Since then, though Aston Villa has won three in a row, posting three straight "clean sheets." There's no reason not to think that it won't carry that momentum over into this revenge scenario in these teams' second leg of their last-16 tie. Club Brugge is making a rare venture into the KO rounds, and I think its "luck" has run out. Villa looks great, and it now has a chance to become the first team to reach the Quarterfinals in their debut season since Atalanta did it back in 2019. Finally, note that Aston Villa is unbeaten in 15 home games. I like Aston Villa to continue its stellar play and avenge the earlier loss. Lay the price with confidence.
