The football never stops – not even for the Cheltenham Festival – and Aston Villa continue their Champions League campaign on Wednesday night.
Unai Emery’s side have a handy 3-1 lead from the first leg in Belgium and they will be dreaming of wrapping up a quarter final place in front of their own fans.
One man who knows a thing or two about the Villa Park atmosphere is Paddy ambassador Joe Cole and he’s summoned up four champion selections for his Aston Villa v Club Brugge Bet Builder. Let’s go!

I think this tie is done. Club Brugge, they’ve done fantastically well to get here but they’ve really pushed themselves to the limit. They’ve had some real gifts from oppositions, a few own goals in the group stage went in their favour as well.
They’re tight at the back but Aston Villa are where I expected them to be. This is the most exciting place to watch Champions League football now.

They’ll be so excited if they win this and get into the quarter final. What an achievement that would be. I fancy Villa to win 3-1.
I’m going with Ollie Watkins to score or assist. He’s very steady and experience normally comes through in games like this. He’ll make a big difference.
Villa are a bit shaky at the back so I think Emiliano Martinez will have some work to do so he could make two or more saves in this game. Brugge won’t go out without a fight but I think they’ll score in defeat.
