Aston Villa v Celtic: Predictions, tips and bet builder as Scots look to end 54 years of hurt
Another big Champions League night awaits at Villa Park as Aston Villa welcome Celtic in their final bid to claim a top eight finish (Wednesday, 2000 GMT).
When Unai Emery’s men kicke off their European campaign with คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย three straight wins, you’d think the club was in dream land.
As things stand, the Villans are very much awake as they look to shake off their dodgy form in pursuit of a potentially massive achievement.
The fact Villa are in this competition is extraordinary in itself. But a potential appearance in the Last-16 would be nothing short of historic.
Celtic will be looking to stop Emery’s men from realising their ambitions as they look to close the league phase on a winning note.
Only one Scottish side has ever won an away game against English opposition in the old European Cup or the current Champions League. Any guesses?
It was Celtic, of course, who defeate Leeds United 1-0 back in 1970. Since then, the Scots have gone 54 years without getting that all-important win on English soil.
We expect that barren run to continue as the Hoops prepare to go head-to-head with Premier League opposition.
While we don’t mean to upset fans of Scottish football, we have to be brutally honest and say that the gap between Premiership and the Premier League is gargantuan.
Aston Villa should win this fixture nine times from every 10 – and should do so with goals to spare.
