New Delhi: Aston Villa will be going face to face against the German giants Bayern Munich tonight. Both teams in their league are in a fantastic position and are playing some pretty good football on the pitch. Villa have made enormous strides under Unai Emery, and on Matchday 1, they defeated Young Boys in their Champions League comeback. Against Bayern, they’ll try to build on their outstanding performance.
Bayern’s attacking unit is playing with much more confidence thanks to Vincent Kompany, as they have destroyed opponents in their past games and are currently scoring a lot of goals. They drew 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and they triumphed 9-2 against Dinamo Zagreb, in their previous UCL match. There’s little doubt that this matchup against Villa on the road will be exciting.
