The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Unai Emery's Aston Villa take on an impressive Juventus side in an important clash at Villa Park on Wednesday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Juventus are currently in 11th place in the UEFA Champions League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Bianconeri played out a 0-0 stalemate against AC Milan in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the Champions League table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this season. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Juventus were kept at bay by a feisty AC Milan defence in their previous game and will need to be more clinical on Wednesday. Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah have been brilliant for the Bianconeri and will look to prove their mettle this week.
Aston Villa are a formidable unit at home but have stuttered on a few occasions this season. Juventus are a seasoned European outfit and hold the upper hand going into this game.

Tip 1: Result - Juventus to win
Tip 2: Game to have over 2.5 goals - Yes
Tip 3: Aston Villa to score first - Yes
