Aston Villa is gearing up to secure their fourth consecutive win in this season's Champions League as they face Club Brugge on Wednesday evening. Under the guidance of Unai Emery, Villa has made a strong statement in the revamped league phase, securing victories in their first three fixtures.
Villa's journey began with a triumph over Young Boys, followed by an impressive win against Bayern Munich. They continued their winning streak with a 2-0 victory against Bologna on matchday three. However, their momentum was somewhat halted by a tough 4-1 defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, marking their first league loss since August.
Meanwhile, Club Brugge enters this clash after a mixed bag of results in the Champions League. They managed a narrow 1-0 victory against Sturm Graz but faced defeats at the hands of Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan. Domestically, Nicky Hayen's squad has found better form, winning their last three matches. Despite this resurgence, they remain seven points adrift of Belgian league leaders Genk.
As Villa travels to Belgium, they hope to put their recent domestic setback behind them and continue their impressive European campaign. With both teams eager to prove themselves on the continental stage, this encounter promises to be an intriguing battle. Villa will aim to maintain their perfect Champions League record, while Club Brugge seeks to build on their domestic successes and challenge the English side's dominance.
