Aston Villa take on the visitors PSG in the second leg of UEFA Champions League round of quarterfinals. First leg result: 1-3. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 15th at Villa Park, Birmingham.
Aston Villa made their debut in this format this season. The Villans once famously lifted the European Cup, but in recent decades they struggled to live up to that historic pedigree — even slipping down to the Championship at one point. Everything changed under Unai Emery. He quickly lifted the side to a 7th-place finish, and last season, while juggling the Conference League, Aston Villa beat Tottenham to secure 4th place in the Premier League. This season started shakier, but a key squad reshuffle in January — funded by Duran's transfer — helped the team gain momentum domestically. They also made a deep run in the FA Cup, reaching the semi-finals. In the Champions League, making their debut under this format, they began with three wins, including a victory over Bayern Munich. Topping their group with 16 points, they went straight to the Round of 16 and cruised past Club Brugge, scoring three goals in each leg. However, in the quarter-finals, they opened the scoring in Paris but ended up falling 1-3. Despite the setback, Villa remain strong at home, where they recently thrashed West Ham and edged out Manchester United in tight contests. Their attacking trio has shown chemistry, and the home crowd at Villa Park could play a big role in the return leg.

PSG secured yet another Ligue 1 title at the start of April. Their domestic dominance in France has continued regardless of who’s in charge — and that hasn’t changed under Luis Enrique. But his main mission remains the elusive Champions League trophy. Last year, without aging stars like Messi, PSG reached the semi-finals after beating Barcelona. This season, they started slowly, earning just four points from their first five matches — relying heavily on a fortunate late win over Girona, where Gazzaniga’s error gifted them the only goal. Then the team found their rhythm, defeating Manchester City and smashing Brest with 10 unanswered goals in the knockout round. They lost to Liverpool at home despite dominating, but turned it around at Anfield and won on penalties, thanks to Donnarumma’s heroics. Against Villa in Paris, they came from behind and grabbed a crucial late third goal. The squad is clicking into gear at the perfect time, with midfield maestro Vitinha in stellar form and young talents like Barcola providing energy and depth from the bench.
The first leg in Paris marked the first-ever meeting between these two clubs on the field. Villa must go for the comeback, and they have the firepower to make this a lively affair. Expect goals in this one — take the over 2.5 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
