How the crowd called it
Why we called it
Villa are 2/2 after winning 3-2 in Bruges and 6-0 against Fenerbahçe, and they won 1-0 at Newcastle on Saturday through Manzambi. They report no new fitness problems, and Jackson (3 UCL goals) and Barkley (2) are in form. Viking have conceded six in two games, but they scored three against Bayern, and captain Tripić drives their attack. We classed this as an overwhelming home favourite against a leaky defence, so we went for a two-goal margin while still expecting Viking to score.
