Aston Villa will host Club Brugge to Villa Park on Wednesday for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash, aiming to secure their spot in the quarter-finals. The Villans claimed a 3-1 win in the first leg on Belgian soil and will be confident of finishing the job in front of their home supporters.
Having been the superior side in the opening match, Villa will be expected to deliver another dominant performance and ease into the next round. The key question is whether they can maintain their composure and secure a professional result. Meanwhile, Club Brugge will be frustrated with their underwhelming display at home.
