Aston Villa vs Paris Saint-Germain Head-to-Head Statistics
Before making an Aston Villa vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction, it is important to note that this is just the second meeting between the sides. However, Aston Villa have suffered defeats in three of their last four matches against French sides under Emery. PSG have won just four of their 17 away matches in England.
Aston Villa vs Paris Saint-Germain Player Focus
Ollie Watkins is expected to be recalled for this second UCL leg after Rashford was preferred in Paris last week. Watkins’ pace could be hugely important in order to stretch the PSG defence on Tuesday, but the striker will need to be clinical when chances arrive. The striker has scored 14 goals from an xG of 16.56, while he has accumulated six assists in 32 Premier League outings this season.
Aston Villa vs Paris Saint-Germain Tactical Analysis
The emphasis will be on Aston Villa this week, as they chase a fast start to put pressure on this young PSG side.
However, the visitors have already shown that they are capable of controlling games without having possession of the ball in the Champions League this season. Villa will likely look to deploy a counter-attacking style of play, as they have averaged just 52% of the possession throughout the season.
But, the outcome of the tie could hinge on whether the West Midlands side is able to convert chances when they create opportunities.
