Monaco vs Aston Villa Tips & Preview - Villans to show quality in France
- Aston Villa aiming to secure UEFA Champions League top-eight spot.
- Monaco struggling with recent poor form and multiple defeats.
- Both teams score frequently but have defensive vulnerabilities.

Monaco vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa will aim to strengthen their place in the UEFA Champions League top eight as they travel to Monaco on Tuesday.
The Premier League side are looking solid at the moment while their hosts come into this one in poor form. With the French side also looking unconvincing at home, Villa should have enough to hold out at Stade Louis-II.
Monaco Form
Monaco are still in the running for the playoffs as they sit 16th in the table having earned three wins and a draw from their six matches. However, things appear to have gone downhill lately as they have lost their last two matches in the competition and were thrashed 3-0 at Arsenal in their previous fixture.
That poor run is not just limited to the Champions League as the defeat to Arsenal appears to have started a run of poor results. Adi Hutter’s men are winless in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions and were beaten 2-1 by Montpellier in Ligue 1 last Friday.
Monaco often adopt an open style of play and are solid going forward having scored in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have conceded in all six clashes while there have been over 2.5 goals in four of those fixtures.
Aston Villa Form
Aston Villa are challenging further up the table in the Champions League and sit fifth, although only two points separate them from Juventus in 14th. Unai Emery’s European experience has been valuable as they have picked up four wins and a draw from six matches and defeated RB Leipzig 3-2 last time out.
It has been an overall impressive period for Aston Villa, who are unbeaten in nine of their last 11 matches across all competitions. The Villans have won seven times in that run but held out for a 2-2 Premier League draw at Arsenal last Saturday.
Goals have not been a problem for Aston Villa all season and they have scored in 10 of their last 11 matches across all competitions. They have also conceded in eight of the last nine matches in that run while seven fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
This will be the first ever meeting between Monaco and Aston Villa.
Verdict
Monaco and Aston Villa go into Tuesday’s match in contrasting form with the French side looking out of sorts at the moment while the visitors are playing with confidence. The Villans have earned results against Bayern Munich, Juventus and Leipzig in this year’s competition and can hold their own in France.
Both sides tend to open up and given the attacking quality on display, there should be goals in this one.
