Copybet Prediction Challenge: Chance to win a £50 free bet by predicting the outcome of Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Aston Villa got their Champions League campaign off to the perfect start two weeks ago, with a resounding victory against Young Boys. But this is the fixture that will truly mark their return to Europe’s premier club competition, as they welcome six time European champions Bayern Munich.

The Germans are one of the most successful sides in the history of the competition and boast a team packed full of international talent, including of course, England captain Harry Kane. Julian Nagelsmann’s men come into this game in fantastic form, having won six and drawn one of their opening seven matches in all competitions. The Bavarians have scored an astonishing 30 times in that period, including a 9-2 thumping of Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener.

With Unai Emery’s Aston Villa also enjoying plenty of goalscoring returns, the Midlanders have netted two or more in all but one of their first eight games of the season, it promises to be a high scoring affair. Sportsbook CopyBet have over 2.5 goals in the match at 12/25, over 3.5 on offer at 6/5 and over 4.5 at 13/5.

In the outright betting market, Bayern are the favourites at 3/4 with Villa 3/1 for a famous victory and the draw listed at the same price. While Kane is unsurprisingly the front runner in the first goalscorer market at 16/5. His England teammate Ollie Watkins is 6/1 to break the deadlock and 19/10 to add to the four goals he has already netted this season.

Kane notched four times against Zagreb when Bayern ran riot in gameweek one and his record for former club Tottenham at Villa Park was an impressive one, five goals and two assists in six visits. A Kane brace on Wednesday night is 4/1 and a hat-trick from England’s all time leading scorer is 16/1.

This is only the second competitive meeting ever between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich but the first will live long in the memory of Villa fans who were alive at the time. The 1982 European Cup Final where Aston Villa triumphed 1-0. A repeat of that scoreline this time around is 9/1 while a Villa win to nil is 6/1.
