Before making any bets on the Aston Villa vs. PSG game, consider the insights from SportsLine soccer expert Jon Eimer. Here are Eimer`s Champions League picks and predictions for the match:
Aston Villa Over 1.5 Team Total Goals (+135)
Trailing 3-1 on aggregate, Villa needs to score at least two goals to have a chance at the Champions League semi-finals. Playing at home is an advantage, as Aston Villa has consistently scored multiple goals in recent home games. They have scored over 1.5 goals in their last five home matches across all competitions, including scoring at least three goals in each of their last two Champions League home games.
Eimer notes that key Aston Villa attackers like Ollie Watkins, Donyell Male, and John McGinn are expected to be well-rested for this UCL game. He anticipates Aston Villa to adopt a highly offensive approach, as aggressive pressing might be their best strategy. Betting on Aston Villa to score over 1.5 goals is at +135 odds.
Ollie Watkins to Score Anytime (+200)
As Aston Villa needs goals, they will likely rely heavily on Ollie Watkins, their top scorer with 14 goals, nearly double that of any other Villa player. Watkins recently scored in a Premier League game despite playing only briefly, ensuring he is fresh for this match. He ranks high among Premier League players in goals per 90 minutes. PSG`s attacking style can sometimes expose their defense, as seen when they conceded two goals in their recent away game against a lower-division French team.
PSG Over 1.5 Team Total Goals (-110)
PSG secured the Ligue 1 title earlier in April, allowing them to fully concentrate on the Champions League. The team has had a full week to rest and prepare for this second leg. Despite a 3-1 aggregate lead, PSG is expected to maintain a strong attacking approach to solidify their lead and advance to the Champions League semi-finals.
Eimer highlights PSG`s impressive squad depth, capable of fielding a strong attacking lineup and bringing in fresh, high-caliber players in the second half. He anticipates goals from PSG in this second leg as well.
Ousmane Dembele to Score Anytime (+150)
Dembele leads the 2025 Champions League in total shots (55) and has converted many into seven goals. He has been in exceptional form since the start of 2025, scoring 25 goals in 23 matches this year. Dembele has a high number of multi-goal games, contributing significantly to his Ligue 1 leading scorer status. Odds for him to score anytime are favorable at +150.
