Aston Villa VS Celtic FC
Aston Villa host Celtic in this UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase round 8 clash at Villa Park. A match of somewhat average quality by this league's standard is on the cards here.. Indeed, there is a big difference in class between the two teams here.. Celtic cannot match the hosts in any area of the game! Most importantly, we have yet another lucrative betting opportunity here! We have won six consecutive picks betting on this league! We will trust Aston Villa to take all three points here. They have a good chance of making it to the top-8 – directly to the 1/8-finals! Celtic are only in 18th place in the standings with 12 points. However, their number of expected points (xPTS) is smaller. They are the best team in the Scottish Premiership but the level of this league is hugely worse than that of the English Premier League, the best league on the planet. Celtic have taken 60 points in 23 games and have a score difference of 64:11. They have been lucky in terms of xPTS, expected goals (xG) and expected goals allowed (xG)! Aston Villa were very strong last season, finishing in fourth place in the Premier League with a fine 68 points in their pocket. No, Aston Villa have not been quite as strong as last season - currently occupying 8th place with 37 points to their account. This is, however, only four points less than Man City, in 4th place, have grabbed. Aston Villa's number of xPTS is 39.21.. Their score difference is 34:35 but their number of xG is 42.21 and xGA is 33.12.. In front of their loud fans I expect them to be active - even aggressive - right from the kickoff here - putting huge pressure on the visitors' defence. Villa need the three points so I expect them to take some risks if the score is level in the second-half..
Villa are in 9th place in this league with 36 clubs. Villa have taken a strong 13 points – which is more than much bigger clubs Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, PSG and Man City have managed to grab! At Villa Park they have not allowed even one goal in the UCL! Three days ago Villa had to settle for a 1-1 draw with West Ham at home. West Ham played much better than usual - and both teams recorded the same number of shots on goal, goal attempts and shots off target. Villa were a bit disappointing as a whole.. Perhaps some of their players had their minds/focus on this big game against Celtic.. In their last UCL match they lost a dangerous team from Ligue 1, Monaco, 0-1 on the road. However, they recorded more shots on and off target and had more big scoring chances. Either team could easily have won the game.. Before this Aston Villa were big underdogs against Arsenal, the second-best team in this league and a top-5 team on the planet. However, they came back from 0-2 - 2-2 was the final score.. Both teams had two big scoring opportunities but Arsenal recorded two more shots on goal.. Before this Villa defeated Everton 1-0 away from home, generating 0.37 more in xG than Everton. Villa have beat West Ham in the last two games between the two teams. On the 10th of this month Aston Villa beat West Ham 2-1 at home in a FA Cup game. They allowed the visitors just two shots on goal. Moreover, Villa had many more goal attempts and big scoring chances – 3-0. The hots also generated 1.64 more in xG. In round 20 Villa defeated Leicester 2-1 at home, allowing the visitors just two shots on goal and very little in xG! Celtic beat a pretty limited Swiss team, Young Boys, 1-0 at home in their last UCL game. They were priced around 1.30 to win by the bookies.. However, they recorded only one more big scoring chance – 4-3.. The xG numbers were 1.77-1.23. Celtic recorded four more goal attempts 16-12. Before this Celtic beat Kilmarnock 2-1 at home as massive favourites on the betting market. It was a Scottish Cup game.. Before this Celtic were priced around 1.20 to beat Dundee FC away from home but it was a disappointing 3-3 draw. The hosts even had one more shot off goal. Celtic managed one more shot on target. Let's remember that according to a well-known and respected German website, Transfermarkt.com, Aston Villa are the bigger team here – by a big margin!
Happy New Year to all my fans!
