Aston Villa to win - 8/5

Aston Villa made a superb start to their debut UEFA Champions League campaign, winning their first three matches against Young Boys, Bayern Munich and Bologna, without conceding a goal.

The 1-0 victory over Bayern, in particular, was a night to remember at Villa Park as Jhon Duran's late goal slayed the Bundesliga giants.

A 1-0 defeat at Club Brugge on Matchday Four tempered expectations somewhat but Unai Emery's side then picked up a creditable 0-0 home draw with Juventus to leave them well placed in the revamped competition.

Villa sit ninth but are level on 10 points with Arsenal, Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen in the places just above them in the table and a win over RB Leipzig should significantly boost their hopes of landing a top-eight spot.

Emery's men know they have two potentially crucial ties to come in the League Phase after Tuesday's game when they take on Monaco and Scottish giants Celtic and they have rediscovered their form in recent matches domestically, ending an eight-game winless run in all competitions with back-to-back victories over Brentford and Southampton.

RB Leipzig are staring at an early exit from the UEFA Champions League as they have yet to pick up a point, although Marco Rose's side have been involved in several tight ties so far, losing by a single goal to Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Inter Milan during a tough first five fixtures.

The German side are likely to play a full part in proceedings again but the visitors are fancied to shade it.

Over one Aston Villa goal - 11/10

Villa will probably have to score at least twice at the RB Arena to come away with all three points, with over one away goal on the night appealing at 11/10.

Emery's side scored three times against Young Boys in their opening game and then hit two in the victory over Bologna at Villa Park, while Leipzig have conceded at least two goals in three of their five matches so far.

Villa have plenty of firepower to suggest they can breach the home side's defence on at least two occasions on Tuesday with Duran, who has nine goals this term, and Ollie Watkins, who has seven, among their chief threats, while John McGinn, Ross Barkley and Morgan Rogers are all capable of chipping in too.

Jhon Duran to score anytime - 11/4

Duran has been one of Villa's most important players this season, often coming off the bench to impact the game late on, while he will always be remembered as the man who scored the winner against Bayern.

The striker could well be among the substitutes in Germany after he started, and scored, against Saints in the Premier League at the weekend, with Watkins tipped to replace him up front.

However, Duran has made a nice habit of scoring off the bench, with five of his nine goals this season coming after his introduction, and he could be the late difference-maker again.
