How the crowd called it
Why we called it
Ivan Leko's Brugge are scoring freely in the Pro League, with Tresoldi, Forbs and Vermant all on target in the wins over Cercle and Gent. Villa have lost five in a row including a 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on 31 August, with Nicolas Jackson now leading the line after Ollie Watkins' departure. Given Villa's slump and Brugge's home record in Europe, this is a clear home lean rather than a coin-flip, but trimmed to one goal: 2-1.
