Monaco v Aston Villa: Prediction and Tips

Monaco and Aston Villa are both in the hunt for a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League and that should make for an entertaining contest when they clash at Stade Louis II on Tuesday.

Heading into matchday seven, the penultimate round of fixtures in the new League Phase, the Villans sit fifth in the standings on 13 points, 11 places and three points better off than hosts Monaco.

With just the top eight teams guaranteed a place in the last-16 stage of the competition, there is still lots to play for with just three points the gap between third-placed Arsenal and Club Brugge in 19th position.

Aston Villa to win - 9/5

Monaco are yet to pick up a win in 2025, losing three and drawing one of their four matches in all competitions and confidence will be low heading into this European clash against Villa.

The Villans fought from 2-0 down against Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday to grab a 2-2 draw in the Premier League, extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to five games.

Unai Emery's side have collected four points from their last two away assignments and they have also been strong on the road in the UEFA Champions League, beating Young Boys and RB Leipzig either side of a 1-0 defeat at Club Brugge.

Villa know a victory in Monaco would put them into a strong position to grab a top-eight finish heading into their final League Phase fixture, which is a home clash against Celtic on 29th January.

While the visitors will be in a confident mood, they won't be taking Monaco for granted given the results Les Rouge et Blanc have picked up in Europe, with a 2-1 home win over Barcelona the highlight.

Adi Hutter's side have won two of their last four fixtures at Stade Louis II, so they are capable on home soil, but their poor run heading into this contest suggests this is a perfect time for Villa to strike.

No goal before 27:00 - 5/6

This clash may take a little while to spark into life and the 5/6 available on there to be no goal scored before the 27 minute mark is hard to ignore.

This bet has landed in three of the last four matches for both Monaco and Villa, evidence that recent games involving the duo have not been full of chances early doors.

Ollie Watkins anytime goalscorer - 7/4

One of the most likeliest players to score on Tuesday night is Villa striker Ollie Watkins, who has found his groove over the last month and should lead the line again.

The England international scored the equaliser in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Saturday, his second goal in as many games and his third in his last four league appearances.

With the likes of Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers and Leon Bailey in line to start, there should be plenty of quality service for Watkins to feed off throughout this contest.

The 29-year-old is yet to get off the mark in the UEFA Champions League, but he can change that statistic by finding the back of the net against Monaco and helping his side to a crucial victory.
