Brugge Vs Villa Preview
Club Brugge will create history on Tuesday as they embark on their 13th Champions League campaign, the most by any Belgian club. As impressive as that is, the Blauw-Zwart have also progressed from their last three UCL seasonal group stages/league phase. In 2025-26, Ivan Leko’s side lost 7-4 on aggregate to Diego Simeone’s Atleti in the playoffs.
On Saturday, Villa drew 0-0 with Hull meaning they are yet to find the back of the net in three Premier League outings this term. Since the brilliant Europa League win back in May, a vast number of changes to Unai Emery’s personnel has somewhat hindered the Lions progress in the new season.
Brugge Vs Villa H2H Record
Club Brugge and Aston Villa are becoming familiar foes of late. Two years ago, when Villa last had a taste of Champions League football, the sides met three times with the Belgians winning the 2024-25 league stage clash 1-0 at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
In the Round of 16, Villa exacted revenge by winning 3-1 in Belgium before cruising to a 3-0 win in Birmingham. They are the only competitive European encounters the two clubs have contested.

Brugge Vs Aston Villa Team News
Joel Ordonez is the only major injury concern for Club Brugge. Veteran stopper and 2025 runner-up Yann Sommer will get the nod in goal and star striker Nicolo Tresoldi will lead the attack. The Germany U21 international has already scored three times in the Pro League this term.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa made the controversial call not to include Brian Madjo in their UCL squad. The wonderkid netted against PSG in the Super Cup but would have been ruled out injured for the trip to Belgium. Joao Gomes is available and former Bayern star Leon Goretzka is also in line to feature.
