Champions League, Wednesday, 02.10.2024 at 21:00
After the gala is before the compulsory task! For FC Bayern, our UEFA Champions League tips continue with a trip to the island. Here they face an opponent they have not met since 1982. Be honest: does this one game really still matter in my Aston Villa Bayern tip?
Let’s just say that the Champions League trophy did not go to the Isar this year. Nevertheless, Munich are of course the much stronger team, who want to show themselves from their most offensive side again after the 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb at the start of the campaign.
This game is just one reason for my assumption that it should be a very goal-scoring game again on Wednesday. I am betting on the combination of Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring because Aston Villa will certainly want to surprise at home.
Now the Aston Villa Bayern odds of the bookmakers show us the usual picture, favoring the guests. At the same time, however, FCB knows that average values of 1.70 to 4.40 do not mean that the three points are without alternative.
The strong English team wants to surprise and the guests know: just don’t be surprised! In this respect, my Aston Villa Bayern analysis is anything but uninteresting, I’m not betting on many goals for nothing!
The bookmakers’ forecast
FC Bayern will start as favorites in their second CL game this season. This time, however, the win bet would actually be worthwhile, because the values average 1.70.
The situation is somewhat different for Aston Villa. Without much Champions League experience, it is not enough to be ahead against one of the title favorites, but you still shouldn’t be too sad with odds of 4.40.
The English team would probably prefer a draw. In the event that there is no winner in the encounter, odds of 4.00 can be found in our betting provider comparison.
KI-Prognose Aston Villa vs Bayern: That’s what ChatGPT tips
ChatGPT is in full swing for the Champions League, because of course I also asked the AI about this game. As usual, the result is betting options with high, medium and low risk.
You’re taking a high risk if you bet on Aston Villa taking the three points. Admittedly, the 3-0 win in the opener against Young Boys Bern was strong. However, if you want to highlight the hosts, I would rather go for the double chance.
The risk is somewhat lower if you bet on Over 2.5 goals – and that’s per Bayern. Offensively, nobody is currently scoring as wildly as the Kompany team, so I’m all in on that one.
The low-risk bet this time is “Both teams score” and here too I say: definitely possible! In fact, Bayern usually concede a few at the back and since the Villans are playing at home, they will definitely want to give their fans something to cheer about.
Analysis: Aston Villa vs Bayern
What a start to this new Champions League! Bayern only faltered briefly against Dinamo Zagreb on the first matchday, conceding two goals immediately after the break to trail 3-2.
After that, the offensive department enjoyed more success goal after goal, ending up with a 9-2 scoreline. 19 shots on target, since the beginning of the recordings in 2003/04, it had not happened before.
In the Bundesliga, the Munich team were actually just as aggressive, but against champions Leverkusen they had to settle for a 1-1 draw despite being far superior. Nevertheless, they remained top of the table.
So, all in all, I can justifiably claim that the start under Vincent Kompany has been a successful one. However, there is always the risk that this statement could change with just one match on the Isar.
Odds Analysis
I can well imagine that Bayern will want to get off to a flying start – and Aston Villa will too, given their home advantage! So a BTS in half-time 1 is something I have in mind, and this bet comes in the Betano app at odds of 3.30.
If you want to increase the risk, you can bet on a specific result here. I would risk the tip that the FCB result against Leverkusen will be repeated and that we will have a 1-1 after 45 minutes; the odds here are 6.50.
Of course, you can also place a bet on the result at the end of regular time. I think Bayern will come out on top, but it will be a close game. A 2:1 would be a possibility, and with 8.75, the risk is relatively low.
Aston Villa vs. Bayern: a reunion after a long time!
Aston Villa should not be a stumbling block. It’s good that they haven’t lost in nine of the last ten CL duels against English teams. At the same time, I was able to find out that the last three away games in the premier class did not end in victory.
The older among the Bayern fans will surely remember: Aston Villa? There was something at the beginning of the 1980s! In 1982, FCB lost the final of the European Cup against Aston Villa.
At the 0:1, players like Klaus Augenthaler, Uli Hoeneß or Karl-Heinz Rummenigge were on the pitch, so one or the other in the stands will know exactly what happened back then.
Kane, Watkins or Duran, who will decide the game?
Speaking of which, what exactly is the status of Harry Kane? The striker took a kick against Leverkusen, and after his quadruple against Zagreb, the star is of course also needed against Aston Villa.
It is said to be just a painful knock to the ankle, but the Munich side have been cagey about the extent of the injury. We will just have to wait and see whether the striker will be able to start on Wednesday or not.
With a squad market value of almost €600 million, Aston Villa know all about the value of superstars. The Villans are competing in the Champions League for the first time ever and have made a great start.
They beat Young Boys Bern 3-0, with Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey and Amadou Onana scoring 20 shots. It seems the English team have no problems in attack.
A glance at the Premier League reveals: That’s exactly how it is! They only lost 2-0 to Arsenal, and four wins and a draw followed. Admittedly, the CL dress rehearsal failed somewhat recently with a 2-2 draw against newly promoted Ipswich.
But: Twelve goals in those five games, that’s quite an announcement. But the point of criticism is also obvious on the other side: a clean sheet has not really been played in the national competition yet.
With Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins, there are two center forwards who know what they are doing. They have scored nine goals together, so the responsibility is fairly shared.
My Aston Villa Bayern Tip:
After a 9-2 win in the first leg, Europe is looking at Bayern Munich for a second time, and they know that it will be anything but easy to repeat such a result on the pitch – and Aston Villa are definitely a different proposition than Dinamo Zagreb.
Offensively, I could only find positive facts on Munich’s side. It was the same for the hosts from Birmingham! Here, too, many goals are scored, at the expense of their own defense.
Since Bayern have had a few problems on the road recently, especially internationally, and I have a lot of faith in the home team’s offense, I have decided to place the following bet:
Both teams score over 2.5 goals
