Aston Villa’s return to the Champions League big-time promises to deliver in spades, as they take on Bayern Munich at Villa Park. Finishing 4th in the Premier League last term propelled Villa into the Champions League this season and they are seen as a side that could ruffle a few feathers with many punters and UCL betting apps. However, Bayern Munich have seen it all before in this competition and having last won it in 2020, Vincent Kompany’s men look ready to challenge once again.

Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich Analysis
This should be a Champions League classic at Villa Park, with so much on the line.
Aston Villa
A thumping win on the road at Young Boys last time out in the Champions League was the perfect start for Unai Emery’s men. Villa look well set to challenge in this competition and they will enjoy taking on some of the biggest names on the continent in their back yard. This will be a stern test against Bayern Munich though and they will be tested to their limits.
Team news: Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara are expected to miss this one for Aston Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Konsa, Torres, Carlos, Digne, Onana, Tielemans, Ramsey, Rogers, Bailey & Watkins.
Bayern Munich
Losing the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen will have hurt Bayern Munich last season but their campaign is rocking already this time around. Vincent Kompany has hit the ground running since his appointment in the summer and their 9-2 thumping of Dinamo Zagreb in their opening Champions League game was a real statement. They are the hot favourites in this one, but they know that they have a real game on their hands in the eyes of many punters and Champions League betting sites.
Team news: Sasha Boey and Hiroki Ito will miss out here for Bayern, with Harry Kane also a doubt.
Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup:
Neuer, Kimmich, Upamecano, Kim, Davies, Guerreiro, Pavlovic, Olise, Musiala, Gnabry & Muller.
Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich Prediction
These are two sides that relish the big occasions and the prospect of them facing off so early on in the Champions League is a hugely exciting one. Villa Park should be rocking here, and Bayern Munich should feel the wrath of the Holte End from the very beginning. However, Bayern are a cultured and steely side who should find a way to win in the West Midlands here.
Prediction: Bayern Munich to win the match – 19/20 (-105) – Rhino Bet.
Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich – The Ultimate Bet
Bayern Munich to win & BTTS – 12/5 (+240) – Fitzdares
This should be hugely entertaining from the outset in the second city and whilst Aston Villa should play their part, Bayern Munich should prevail here in a goal fest.
