Overview
The 3-1 victory in the first leg helped Paris St Germain march to England with the highest confidence. The army of coach Luis Enrique had a comprehensive overwhelming match and won worthy at home. With PSG not playing this weekend, they will have the best preparation for the upcoming second leg.
In the first leg, Aston Villa actively prioritized the certainty of the defense and waited for the opportunity to counterattack. That makes PSG difficult in a few situations. However, in the second leg, the British representative was forced to attack to search for goals. It is an opportunity for PSG -speed attack stars like Dembele or Kvaratskhelia to show their strengths.
Aston Villa has just won a 3-0 victory over Southampton, thereby raising the number of consecutive victories in their Premier League to the number 4. Although comprehensive overwhelming, but the army of coach Unai Emery has missed 2 penalties, all made by Asensio.
This is clearly an unhappy signal with the British representative before the upcoming important match. The only fulcrum of Aston Villa is the Villa Park home, where they lost only twice in this season, the rest were 15 wins and 8 draws.
PSG has been in its best version for many years. Therefore, defeating them with 2 or more goals is a very difficult task. Despite the home advantage, but with poor bravery in the Champions League arena, Aston Villa is difficult to level the great advantage that the French team created after the first leg.
