Aston Villa v Viking

Aston Villa are strong favourites against Viking in the UEFA Champions League at Villa Park at 20:00 WAT on 21 October. The home price of 1.26 gives a 79.1% chance. Viking’s home draw with Bayern München shows you cannot dismiss their attack.

I have cut the repeated names from the team news for clarity. For Villa, A. Onana is out with a knee injury and M. Ruggeri is out with injury. M. Cisse, T. Harwood-Bellis and B. Madjo are off the roster.

G. Hemmings carries a knee injury and I. Maatsen an ankle injury. J. Manzambi carries injury and A. Wan-Bissaka a muscle problem. They are listed as doubts.

For Viking, A. Baertelsen has a foot injury, V. Berisha a thigh injury and S. Bjorshol a knee injury. M. Roseth has a knee injury and K. Frimpong is off the roster. N. D’Agostino and K. Haugen carry leg injuries and are listed as doubts.

Aston Villa form:

W 1-0 vs Newcastle (away)
W 6-0 vs Fenerbahçe (home)
D 2-2 vs Brentford (home)
W 3-1 vs Sevilla (away)
W 3-2 vs Tottenham (away)

Viking form:

W 3-2 vs Fredrikstad (home)
D 3-3 vs Bayern München (home)
W 2-0 vs Brann (away)

What the price costs you. About ₦15 of each ₦1,000 staked on the result stays with 1xBet Nigeria. The same stake leaves about ₦82 with Betway Nigeria.
