Team Analysis
Aiming to book a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, Aston Villa will welcome Scottish giants Celtic to Villa Park for a Battle of Britain on Wednesday night in UEFA's elite club competition. The Villans come into this clash following a share of the points with West Ham United in the Premier League, whilst the Bhoys have been afforded nearly a week to bask in the glory of their victory over Young Boys on matchday seven of the League Phase.

Returning to the elite level of European football for the first time in four decades, one-time Champions League victors Aston Villa have undoubtedly proven that they are not just in the competition to make up the numbers, with the Second City club already securing their spot in the knockout stages next month. Securing possession of the Scottish crown in each of the last three campaigns and leading the current title race by a staggering 10 points, Celtic are the undisputed masters of their respective domestic scene, with Wednesday's visitors losing just one of their 23 Premiership matches this term.

Odds Analysis
With plenty on the line for both Villa and Celtic on Wednesday night, we are expecting a nervy contest as the two sides battle it out for a potential top-eight spot. The Villans will have more quality on the pitch and in reserve, and we feel that a moment of magic from the hosts will lead to a narrow success on the final night of the league phase.

Pick: Aston Villa
