Latest football commentary on Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich
Aston Villa's first home Champions League game since 1983 will be a dramatic one as they take on Bayern Munich, the team they beat in the 1982 European Cup final to win their only European title. Villa go into this week's game in good form, having won 3-0 at Young Boys in their opening game. They are also looking to maintain their perfect record in Europe's premier competition, a feat only Leicester City of the Midlands have previously achieved in their first two games in 2016.
Aston Villa have enjoyed an impressive rise under Unai Emery, winning six consecutive home games in the Conference League last season and are now firmly in the Premier League. Despite losing a win against Ipswich Town, Emery’s side still look strong with the return of stars Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran.
Bayern Munich are no slouches either, especially after a 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb in their opening group game. With Harry Kane in scintillating form and attacking stars like Michael Olise, Bayern will be aiming for a second successive win and a continued impressive unbeaten run in the Champions League group stage, which now stretches to 41 games.
Although Villa have home advantage and a talented squad, their defence remains a weakness that can be exploited by Bayern's top scorers. This promises to be a high-scoring affair, and Bayern will be hoping to continue their dominance to maintain their Champions League momentum.
