Expert Betting Tips
In Aston Villa's three home games in the Champions League 2024/25, only three goals have been scored, so an average of one goal per game. Celtic has only touched the back of the net once in their three away games in the tournament, so we should not expect a high performance from the upcoming game. As for the outcome, we're rooting for the English side. We think Aston Villa, at least, won't lose, and in general, we expect them to win at home.
