Monaco v Aston Villa Preview

Monaco’s Form

Monaco were “best of the rest” during the 23/24 Ligue 1 season finishing nine points PSG earning their place in this season's Champions League, they were also disappointingly dumped out of the Coupe de France at the Round of 16 stage. So far this season they’re 4th in Ligue 1 trailing league leaders PSG by fifteen points following only three victories in their last ten league games.

It's been a tale of two halves for Monaco in the Champions League accumulating 7 points in their first three games with a 2-1 win over Barcelona a 2-2 draw away to Dinamo and a 5-1 battering of Red Star Belgrade. However, in their last three games, their form has fallen off with only a narrow 0-1 win over Bologna along with a 2-3 loss to Benfica and a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal.

Monaco currently occupies the last-seeded playoff place and even a win may not be enough to keep them there.

Aston Villa’s Form

Aston Villa under Unai Emery have become one of the most consistent sides around for both their Domestic and European form Last season they qualified for this competition by finishing 4th in the league and a Conference League Semi-Final. They’ve balanced both Domestic and European commitments well so far this season especially considering they only had a net spend of €-32.50m during the summer window.

Villa have swiftly put doubters of their Champions League credentials aside with three successive victories 0-3 over Young Boys, 1-0 over Bayern and 2-0 over Bologna. In recent fixtures, they’ve found it more difficult though with a 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge a 0-0 home draw against Juventus and a thrilling 2-3 victory over an out-of-form RB Leipzig.

Villa are currently in one of the crucial Round of 16 seeded places and will stay there with a win.

Monaco v Aston Villa Head-To-Head Results & Stats

This will be the first-ever meeting between both sides.

Key Players To Watch

Breel Embolo – Monaco

The Swiss International has been seemingly around forever in professional football but despite making his debut for Basel over a decade ago for Basel he is still only 27 years of age and has plenty of football left in him.

This season he has 5 goals and 5 assists in 25 games across all competitions including 1 goal and 2 assists in 6 Champions League games. He is 6/1 to be the first goal scorer and 15/8 to score at any time.

Ollie Watkins – Aston Villa

While not performing at quite the levels of last season Aston Villa’s biggest attacking threat Watkins has continued his form from the 23/24 season with 10 goals and 7 assists from 29 games in all competitions and his pace, finishing and link-up play is crucial to the Aston Villa attack.

He is 11/2 to be the first goal scorer and 6/4 to score at any time.

Monaco v Aston Villa Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Monaco 0-2 Aston Villa

Despite being favourites due to home advantage, Monaco have not been in strong form with only one win in their last five games.

Aston Villa put in another impressive showing at the weekend fighting back to draw 2-2 with Arsenal.

I think the odds market has gotten it wrong here and I fancy Aston Villa to win this game.

Best Bet: Aston Villa Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals @ 3/1
