Latest Aston Villa vs Celtic team news
Aston Villa are facing a crisis in their central defense after Tyrone Mings was forced to leave the pitch early with a knee injury in the draw against West Ham. Although Mings said the injury wasn't too serious, Ezri Konsa will likely have a new defensive partner for the upcoming match. John McGinn has returned from a hamstring injury, but manager Emery remains concerned about midfield as Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley are still recovering. Villa's defense is further weakened by the prospect of Pau Torres being sidelined for six weeks with a foot injury.
Celtic also have personnel losses with Daizen Maeda suspended and Kyogo Furuhashi, who recently had an impressive performance, potentially playing his last game for the team due to his imminent transfer to Rennes. James Forrest and Odin Thiago Holm will also be absent due to injury. This significantly impacts Celtic's midfield and attack, as the absences are in crucial positions.

Latest Aston Villa vs Celtic football match prediction
Aston Villa, returning to European competition after four decades, impressed by securing a place in the Champions League knockout stage. However, a defeat to Monaco means they must work harder to avoid the play-offs. Aston Villa boasts an impressive home record with nine unbeaten matches and is confident heading into the game against Celtic, eager for three points to improve their position in the league table. Following a disappointing draw against West Ham in the domestic league, Aston Villa wants to return to winning ways and show a more positive face in the Champions League. They need goals and a strong performance to avoid a repeat of the disappointing draw. With three consecutive games without a win, manager Unai Emery will have to find a solution as quickly as possible. Aston Villa is currently ranked 9th and is four points behind the European qualification spots.
Celtic are in excellent form domestically, having won the title three seasons in a row and currently leading the table. They also have a historic opportunity to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage and have a strong chance of avoiding the risky play-offs. Despite their confidence from a nine-match unbeaten home run, Celtic need to be cautious in their away match against Aston Villa due to their poor away form in the Champions League. Only Liverpool and Arsenal have more points than them at home in the competition this season. However, Celtic have lost their last three away matches in the competition, conceding seven goals. Therefore, the clash between the two teams promises to be full of surprises and excitement.
