Bruges this season plays at home just wonderfully. In the Champions League they have won 3 out of 5 matches against Sporting, the same as Villa and Atalanta who also managed to break their away streaks and draw with Juve (their only loss being against Dortmund in the first match at home). Overall, since September they have only suffered one defeat on their own court, which happened in the Belgian league after Atalanta eliminated them, so I think they may have lacked some psychological preparation after such a result. Villa's home team is strong, but they struggle away, having lost 9 out of their last 12 matches on the road, which is a very poor score. If we consider how Bruges play at home and how Villa play away, I would consider the Belgians as favorites for at least the first match.
