Barcelona – Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Barcelona’s Champions League matches have produced plenty of goals this season. Hansi Flick’s side have scored 11 times in three league-phase fixtures, whilst all three matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, making the goals markets worth considering again.
However, keeping clean sheets has proved difficult for the Spanish champions. Barcelona have conceded in 18 consecutive Champions League matches yet the Catalan giants responded to consecutive defeats with a convincing 6-1 victory over Alavés on Saturday in La Liga.
The hosts have also enjoyed plenty of success against English opposition at the Nou Camp. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 15 European home matches against English clubs (W10, D5), with their most recent defeat coming against Liverpool back in 200, William Hill price Barcelona at 2/9 to secure another victory.

Aston Villa – Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Aston Villa travel to Spain with a perfect record in this season’s Champions League, Unai Emery’s side have won all three league-phase fixtures, scoring an impressive 12 goals along the way, no side have scored more. The Villans have netted at least three times in every match, they’ll be hoping to cause Barcelona problems on Tuesday.
Defensive performances on the road remain a concern, with Villa conceding at least twice in three of their last five away matches across all competitions, that’s not ideal when facing one of Europe’s best attacking sides.
The visitors have struggled on their previous European trips to Spain, winning just one of eight matches (D3, L4). Their only victory came against Celta Vigo in the UEFA Cup back in 1998. Villa will be hoping to improve that record and extend their impressive European form, with the visitors available at a huge 17/2 with William Hill to take all three points.
