This matchup promises plenty of action at both ends, as two attack-minded teams with less solid defenses face off. Aston Villa average 1.5 goals scored and 1.55 conceded per game in the Premier League, while Monaco have been just as prolific in Ligue 1, scoring 1.61 goals per game but conceding 1.11—despite facing weaker attacking opposition than Villa.

In European competitions, Monaco’s matches have been even more open, with the team averaging an impressive 2 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per game. With a crucial win potentially pivotal in both teams’ pursuit of a top-8 finish, an aggressive, attacking approach seems likely. This makes BTTS (Both Teams to Score) a compelling option.

🔍 Monaco v Aston Villa Players to Watch

⚪ Maghnes Akliouche

Maghnes Akliouche to register 1 shot on target (1.8) looks like solid value. He has averaged more shots per game (2.17) than any other player in this matchup during the Champions League, with 0.83 of those hitting the target. A key figure in Monaco’s attack, Akliouche has played every minute of their European campaign, showcasing his reliability and involvement.

In Ligue 1, he remains a consistent attacking threat, averaging 1.75 shots per game. With 2 Champions League goals already this season, his ability to deliver in big moments further strengthens the case for backing him to test the goalkeeper at least once.

🟣 Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins to score or assist (2.3) offers excellent value given his status as Aston Villa’s most productive attacker. With 10 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League, he has been central to Villa’s offensive output. While he’s yet to score in the Champions League, he has provided 2 assists in the competition and enters this match in red-hot form—recording 3 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 appearances.

Monaco’s defensive vulnerabilities further bolster the appeal, as they’ve conceded an average of 1.67 goals per game in this competition. Watkins’ form and involvement make him a strong candidate to either find the net or set up a teammate.

💻 Monaco v Aston Villa Form and Tactics

Monaco come into this clash in a challenging period. After a strong start to their Ligue 1 campaign, their form has stagnated, leaving them winless in their last four matches. This slump appears to have been triggered by two heavy defeats in the Champions League, so they may view this competition as an opportunity to reignite their season.

In stark contrast, Aston Villa are in excellent form. Over their last nine matches, they’ve suffered just two defeats—both away, to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Their impressive run includes major results like a win over Manchester City, a draw against Arsenal at the Emirates, and a dominant victory over Brentford. Confidence will be high as they head into this encounter.

Under Unai Emery, Villa’s tactical approach in the Premier League is marked by a bold, high defensive line aimed at compressing space and unsettling opponents in possession. Typically operating in a compact 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 setup, they adopt a mid-block to deny direct passes into the opposition forwards. 

It remains to be seen whether Villa will replicate this high-risk, high-reward strategy in the Champions League, but their current form suggests they’ll approach the game with confidence and a clear identity.
