Aston Villa have just 2 games left in the League Phase of the Champions League and they’re on course to secure a place in the Last 16. Unai Emery has shown his European expertize with the Villans picking up 13 points from their first 6 games, putting them 5th in the 36-team standings. Liverpool and Barcelona are the only 2 teams to have secured more points than Villa in the competition. Emery’s team is looking to secure a top-8 finish and bypass the first knockout round, which would be a huge boost given how tough they’ve found juggling this competition with their EPL games.
Monaco also made a great start to their Champions League campaign, taking 10 points from their first 4 matches. However, consecutive defeats have left Monaco 16th, pushing them out of the race for a top-8 finish. The hosts have lost 3-2 at home to Benfica and 3-0 to Arsenal, suggesting they will struggle to deal with a Villa team that has adjusted well in their return to Europe’s top competition. The visitors won 3-2 at RB Leipzig in their last European game, with that coming in a 9-match stretch where over 2.5 goals has landed 8 times. Hosts Monaco have scored at least twice in 8 of their last 10 at home, while 5 of their 6 European games have featured 3 or more goals. Of the 24 teams on course to make the next round, only Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord have conceded more goals than Monaco. Expect another high-scoring game here.
