Bruges don’t play in their league until tomorrow. And it’s a local derby v Cercle Bruges. This won’t be easy at all but I said that last week. First goal crucial. We get it and it’s tie done.
-
0-2
-
8-0
-
Keep it tight first half. They have to go for it more and more so the spaces will appear. A fairly unexciting 1-1 or 2-1 win. Same defence as Saturday, without question. No Bailey, McGinn can play right with Kamara/Tileman's. JJ on the left.

3-0 up before half time.
-
I'll settle for another clean sheet, but I think we will win too.
-
0-0 or 5-0 cant decide
need to see the team first
-
We'll win by one goal without even trying.

3-1 to the Villa.

I don’t think we’ll lose 5-0.

3-1 to the Villa.
Agree.
If we get the first goal, I think we then fairly comfortably get to 3-0, before they get a consolation. If they get the first goal mind!!
Martinez
Disasi
Konsa
Mings
Digne
Kamara
Tielemans

0-2
But that would mean Extra-Time. So for once, you MUST choose an end-result that isn't 0-2. I know it's asking a lot of you as your 0-2 predictions are as reliable as a Big Daz "Great read, Dave" post to Snr Woodhall's latest reportage, but Legion, please - for the greater good of the forum. Thank you.

As long as Bailey doesn't start I will be happy.

Result
Cercle Brugge 1-3 Club Brugge. They had the same starting XI as the first leg last week.
That puts them 2nd in the Belgian Pro League, 9pts off top.
They've only got 1more proper league game next Saturday.
They then go into a home and away play-off against the other top 6 teams to decide the 2 Champs League places that Belgium gets.
They carry over half their regular season points into the play-off.
So I wonder if they've pretty well conceded Wednesday's game and are focusing on League wins to maximise the points they can carry forward to the play-offs and give themselves the best chance of winning a spot for next season's Champs League?
-
Nah, they'll take heart from how they opened us up a few times in the first leg and will feel that we'll give up chances which we will as that's what we do.
-
The old saying a 2 goal lead is a dangerous one . We simply cannot afford any sort of complacency.
-
As long as Bailey doesn't start I will be happy.
Yes, it took him a whole two minutes to score in the last meeting, the useless, evil, bastard.
-
Haha!
-
Sorry but in my opinion Bailey is a liability.
-

He is.
I'd also say he's nailed on to start Wednesday night.
-
Liability who scored a really good, and important, goal in the first leg.
-
1-1
-
2-2
-
We have only once gone out of Europe when bringing a first leg lead back to Villa Park. Celta Vigo in 1998/99.
-

we are at home Rich ;)
-

True but even Unai said he cancelled it out by not tracking his runner for the equaliser ten minutes later.
-
If we go out 2nd leg after a 3-1 that would be a almoght collapse. Let them come at us and lets get them on the counter where we are most deadly

This is villa mate , nobody is counting any chickens at this stage .

I went to Vigo. Joachim goal. Remember going back to work and everyone saying job done and I said far from it they were miles better than us and so it proved. A young Makele played for them amongst others if I recall correctly.
-
Mostovoi was excellent in the game at VP.
-
Mostovoi was excellent in the game at VP.
Yep. That was the other name I couldn't remember. Outstanding.
-
Haim Revivo too, a playmaker who we were linked with (along with the fabled Benni McCarthy) for a long time after and whom I really wanted us to get. Valery Karpin was also really good for them. Celta became my Spanish team after the VP game, just thought they were sexy AF.
-
Revivo and Mostovoi were class at VP. I remember that game well.
-
I suspect this will be a very tricky game..they showed in the first leg, and certainly away at Atalanta, that they can be very dangerous. Obviously we can be too.
It'll be interesting to see how Emery decides to play this one. Will he be cautious and defence minded, or decide to attack? We've seen a few times what we're like in an end-to-end battle, it's fun to watch but it's nerve-wracking too!

A young Michel Salgado at full-back too.
-
Yep, they beat Liverpool in both legs in the next round too.
-
2.0
Konsa and Asensio
-
I know some people are dead against emotional hedge betting, but you can get 18-1 on Bruges staging a come back. That’s worth a tenner of anyone’s money.

Yeah that's to win the tie, but if they score first it's came on.
-
Bailey seems to lack confidence to push up the wing fully. He cuts back so the play is entirely on front of the massed opposition defence again. If he pushed on a bit further, he might just make serious inroads. At least there's a good chance he would win a throw in or corner for us and keep the ball behind their front line
-
2-0 BTW. Whether the local derby brawl at the weekend will spur on, dampen, or have no effect on our opposition is too hard to call
-
1 nil to them and we'll crapping it for the last 20 minutes
-
With the imminent 2 week break will Unai be tempted to rest anyone or go full strength?
-
I'm hopeful that by the time we wake up on Wednesday morning for the return leg of the Bruges tie, we have the carrot of a trip to the Parc des Princes dangling right in our faces after they have systematically dismantled Liverpool tomorrow night.
Also hoping we stick with the same back 4 plus an Emi return, and its a straightforward 3-0 home win for us.
-

We can't afford to fuck around and find out. Go strong and transition all game long, we'll burn them on the break.

This is the Villa - we don't do straightforward!

Don't care who we face. Liverpool or PSG ? Then either of the Madrids or Ars ? Barca, or Bayern on their own patch in the final ? We're the Villa, bring 'em on.

Agree. Not a chance we’ll rest anyone with a champions league QF at stake, such a massive game.

He’ll definitely go full bollocks, no question.

Aldridge boy do you do magic tricks at hospitality at Villa ?
-
There is someone who does and I think they said they do magical tricks
-
No that’s the other poster. Martin Daniel’s.
-
Oh ok.
I don’t know him or aldridge boy but wanted to ask a question about magic
-
Will we like it?
-
No that’s the other poster. Martin Daniel’s.
Wasn't it Tommy Cooper's Injury? Not sure if he still posts here.
-
Well anyway two things
one there is a magician at Villa hospitality and two well two is for the magician who hasn’t revealed himself so it doesn’t matter and it’s actually veering off topic to an extent though as a magician is there at VP still counts in some ways .
I will not go on and I was loathe to start a new specific thread as rather self indulgent especially during lent period
I can speak to the club about the magician.
Or I can try and find the solving of the trick online I witnessed .
Yes i’ll do that as well
As we were. back to the pre match .
-
It will be more open, so Bruges have to go for it which will leave them more exposed. I'll go 4-2 to Villa!

So, you are trying to get a magician to reveal his tricks? Good luck with that.

Tyrone Mings recent match history:
https://www.whoscored.com/players/123167/fixtures/tyrone-mings
Pretty impressive. We are getting our defence back.
Tyrone to start against Brugge, we go through.
-
2-0
Nervy first 20-25mins but once we get one it'll settle into a fairly comfy home win.
-
1-1. They'll go 1-0 up just before half time to leave us shitting it until we equalise around ten minutes from time. They'll still have time to miss a late penalty.
-
Saved or skied?
-
Saved or skied?
Saved by one of the top 2 keepers in the world.
-
Martinez, Asensio and Onana all in the squad. Barkley still out.
-
So a virtually full strength team.
Hopefully onana doesn't get a paper cut before the gane
-
Bring me sunshine......
-
Barkley our only injured player now? And he was close to the last squad.
-
Holte End for me tomorrow, last time I watched Villa in the European Cup/Champions League from The Holte End was in 1983 versus Juve with my now dearly departed Dad. A win for the old man would be super. Juve remain to this day the greatest footballing side I’ve ever seen at Villa Park.

If footy learns magic we are all fucked. He will engage the chip to assimilate mode in his wish ti find the connors as cheko the clown.

Other than Wolves at #levels, of course?

My Dad said that Juve side was the best he's ever seen live too.
I was born in 1983, so a bit before time watching....
-
*cough* Spartak Moscow *cough*
-
We’ll need to be right at it. They’re a good side, but let’s be clear if we go out from the position we’re in it’ll be a massive missed opportunity.
-
Has McGinn decked anyone in training this week yet
-
-------- Martinez ----------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
--- Kamara -- McGinn --
Ramsey ------- Tielemans
-- Rogers ------ Watkins ---
-
If we are lucky enough to get through tomorrow Paris awaits us😊
-
Such a sexy time to be a Villa fan.

Emery once did lose a game after being 4-0 up in the first leg🤔
-

Cash Konsa Mings Digne

Id expect McGinn on right and Tielemans next to Kamara. Might be the ideal game to try Asensio ahead of Rogers but no chance of it.
Expecting a tough night. We will get chances and one will be enough. 1-1.
-
Nothing silly early on in the game (don't concede on the first shot for a change!) and take the chances we will no doubt create (Mr Watkins I'm looking at you!) and it's job done.
-
Any idea what the “Tifo” will be.
We’ve had Emery, Ozzy, the Villan, who’s next?
-
A big pint of Davenports
-
Don’t fuck it up Villa. We’ve got the plum tie in Paris. Nice routine win tonight please! 🙏🏼
-
Yep would be a good tie. If we win excellent but if we lose no shame going out to PSG
-

With all due respect, who is tempting fate? I havent said we are definitely going to win look at my previous posts ive continously said if we get past brugges.
I get called negative for predicting a loss and i haven't done that shows i cant win no matter what i do or say 🤷♂️
-
We need to be right at it. We’ve seen this season we’re capable of putting in a shocker and conceding plenty of goals. Two goals is a brilliant advantage but it’s not tie defining unless we make it be.
-
Imperative we don't concede early.
I think Emery will set us up to absorb and slow the game down.
The longer the game goes on at 0 0 the more they come out,
Expect nerve wracking.
-
A big pint of Davenports
Or Ansells, being drunk by William McGregor, with a bottle of HP Sauce in the other hand
-
They'll have a game plan where I reckon they'll try and go in at half time 1 up. Obviously, if we get an early goal they'll have to come out attack. It'll be tough though.
-
We were better than them at their place and we will be better than them at our place because we’re a much better team, have better players and better subs. Yes, they’ll put up a fight of sorts but it won’t be enough.
3-1 win.

Not sure we were better than them last week. You might make a case for it being even but on balance of chances they should have got something. Glad they didn’t obviously and we should have enough, but it might be tough.

Oh, didn't know LMDA was on here. The listman mailing list, those were the days, I was active on it from the mid-90s to the mid-00s iirc.

That’s my take as well. Would have been happy with the draw last week and that would have been a fairer reflection of the game, not that I’m complaining about the two goal advantage.

Why are we always so fair minded when we win a tight one, but if we lose one (even without the defence errors Bruges made) all hell breaks loose.
I’m with Brend, we are better than them 1-11 before the subs even come on
-
They clearly give themselves a home advantage by driving a tractor over their pitch every week, they haven't got that here.
-
They wilk look at what psg did try score early and quiet the crowd and try make us nervous
As long as we score first or dont concede early its in our hands and we can see it through.
The fans have a massive part to play tonight. uTV
-
Every time I'm tempted to get complacent I remember we conceded two goals in a few minutes to Celtic. Brugge are probably better than Celtic.
-
They don't have to score early to make me nervous, in fact they don't even have to kick off. I'm nervous already.
-
Won't be watching, I have access to all league games and the FA cup but would have to take out yet another subscription to get the game. I will rely on Heroes and Villains to keep me up to date.
-
Club Brugge are 16/1 to qualify. Those odds should settle any nerves, as the bookies are rarely wrong..... but, we've absolutely been here before and know better than any bookie in this situation.
*Hence why I've sacrificed a tenner on it just in case!
-
I feel physically sick.

Yep, fat lot of good it did them though. I honestly can’t see anything other than a win. I’m not overly confident just confident. They’re not PSG, or any Madrid they’re a Belgium team in a shit league. We should be trouncing them. Yes, we can fall to pieces on occasion but this isn’t one of them.

There was a PSG banner last night that seemed to just be a pint of Beer.
-

Seems to have been what did them in, really. Some of their misses were incredible to behold. A well kept pitch and they'd have won, or at least drawn.
-
If we can't score a goal at home, then we deserve to go out.
If we DO score, then they'll need four to win it. In any game that's sufficiently open for them to score four, then I'd expect us to score MORE than one.
If we make them commit players forward, then there will be opportunities for us at the other end and we'll be fine. The thing we absolutely must not do is gift them goals.
Fortunately, that's something we never, ever do.

I was there at the Juve game Olaftab, and I agree with you. Villa were brilliant, Juve were playing football from another planet. No complaints from anyone that night either (other than McNaught's header being disallowed. Wrong decision). Like you, I was also with my dearly departed dad.
-

They have an aritcle "Nunez not to blame" which then goes on to very much suggest he was to blame!
-
Both of the saved penalties were very poor, the Nunez one in particular was pretty obvious which side he was going and was the easiest height for the keeper.
PSGs first penalty was brave and could have easily been saved but the next 2 were unstoppable and the last one, whilst placed similar to Nunez, did a much better job of selling the keeper to go the other way.

I was in the Witton Lane stand that night next to the Juve fans! Absolutely brilliant match!
-
PSG are currently on a run of W20 D4 L1 and have lost 4 of 42 games this season.
-
Nerves starting to build now. Hopefully the players are excited for this one rather than nervous. An early goal for us would be nice so we can settle down and enjoy the occasion.

I think we will score. In fact I’m certain we’ll score. So I’ve gone with 28-1 odds on both teams to score and Brugge to progress.

That's what you needed to do, remove ticket from wallet and then all good, your recipient should be fine

A friend has been scammed for tickets on Twitter by someone called

Likewise, but from the video, it looks like they're either all claret, or all white. I'm guessing there will be some text related to Brugge, but at least they're OUR colours.

Yeah, I imagine they're designed and laid out to create a particular effect pre-match.
-
we'll either win 4-0 or scrape it by the fucking skiddaz on our knickers. Tpyical Villa style :D
-
We'll go two goals down but score late on to go through.
-
Our home form is tremendous, these lot to go the same way as West Ham, Spurs and Chelsea.
2-1 Villa.
-
If we win tonight and Arsenal lose their tie on aggregate, then we all be able to say, Villa are the only British team left in the Campions League, which has never happened before!
