Prediction: 1-1
Aston Villa
Jan Breydel Stadion will be the centre of attention when Club Brugge and Aston Villa take on each other in the Champions League round 4. Club Brugge are on a three-game winning run in all competitions, but they face a difficult task in Wednesday’s showdown. Andreas Skov Olsen should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring the winner against Leuven, while midfielder Raphael Onyedika is banned for the match.
The Villans, on the other hand, are surprising Champions League leaders ahead of round 4, but they head into the game following a heavy 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. As Club Brugge are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Matty Cash is unlikely to be risked after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Diego Carlos being ready to step up. Midfielder Ross Barkley has yet to overcome his injury.
Highlighted Player (Diego Carlos):
Diego Carlos Santos Silva is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Nantes as a defender. His main position is centre-back and his preferred foot is right. Diego Carlos began his youth career at America-SP and in 2010 he moved to Desportivo Brasil. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Sao Paulo, the 185-cm-tall defender returned to Desportivo Brasil.
However, he made his first-team debut with Madureira during his spell with the club (2014). In 2014 Diego Carlos signed a contract with Portuguese club Estoril Praia and he scored two goals in 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club. It has to be noted, though, that he played for Porto B (on loan) in the 2014/2015 season.
Diego Carlos moved to French club Nantes in the summer of 2016 and you should bear in mind that he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with les Canaris. The Brazilian footballer scored two goals in 34 appearances for Nantes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. His contract with the Ligue 1 side expires on June 20, 2021.
