PSG v Aston Villa Betting Tips [9 April 2025]

PSG and Aston Villa are set to face off for the first time ever when the Champions League quarter-finals get underway. The first leg of this tie will be staged in Paris and the winner on aggregate gets to face Arsenal or Real Madrid. Read on for our prediction for the match.

This game marks the second consecutive round in which PSG face a Premier League side. They eliminated Liverpool on penalties in the last round following a 1-1 draw on aggregate. In the home leg, PSG lost 1-0 but went on to win the return leg at Anfield.

They come here having been confirmed champions yet again in France. In Champions League action, PSG have won six of their last seven matches.

Aston Villa warmed up for this match with a 2-1 home win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. While they enhanced their chances for Europe next year, it means they come here in great form.

The team hasn’t suffered a loss in the last seven matches across all competitions. Villa actually won each of those matches. They only have one loss in the last 12 matches, against Crystal Palace.

Villa are not only managed by a man with European football pedigree, Unai Emery is also a former PSG coach. Unbeaten in the last three UCL matches, he will be out to shock his former employers.

After bagging the league title, and with the French Cup in view, PSG can afford to fully focus on the Champions League. It gives them an edge against most of their opponents in Europe. One of those is Aston Villa, who are still battling for a place in Europe via league position in England.

Villa are also in the chase for the FA Cup. By this, PSG will be the favorites here and we expect them to continue with their good scoring form, a trait also shared by Villa. Our prediction for PSG v Aston Villa is for PSG to win and over 3.5 goals.
