After playing their first two UEFA Champions League games against German opposition, minnows Viking now travel to the United Kingdom, where they'll take on English Premier League outfit Aston Villa. This looks like an excellent opportunity for the current UEFA Europa League holders to extend their winning run. The players who ply their trade in Norway will be riding high after that tie against Bayern last week, but that was on home soil. They're unlikely to repeat such antics on the road.
Those wanting to bet on the action at Villa Park, should consider 'Aston Villa to Win to Nil' at generous-looking odds of +140. The hosts are building some solid defensive momentum right now, while they're up against lowly opponents, who struggled to create when playing on the road in Stuttgart during the first round of fixtures in the UCL League Phase. Therefore, this is a prime opportunity for Unae Emery's men to collect not only another three points but another clean sheet.

Our Aston Villa vs Viking FK Prediction
It's taken Unai Emery's men a little time to click this season, but the Aston Villa machine is now nicely oiled, and that's why the Villans have kept back-to-back clean sheets ahead of this game. Off the back of those two efforts, the hosts look likely to win whilst shutting out their opponents for the third game on the spin, even more likely than a early price of +140 implies.
We know that the visitors enjoyed themselves on the break against Bayern last week, but on the road, this is a tougher task, and their rather weak offensve effort in Stuttgart durign the first round of UCL games points towards them struggling offensively.
