Barcelona had a perfect start, but defeats against PSG and Real Madrid exposed their weaknesses. However, they bounced back at the weekend against Alavés, thrashing them 6-1, and hope to do the same in the Champions League when they host Aston Villa at the Camp Nou. In the Champions League, the Villans are perfect with victories against Fenerbahçe, Club Brugge, and Viking.
Barcelona continues to look like an inexhaustible machine for creating chances, so much so that in all but one of their matches this season, they have scored two or more goals. Raphina scored twice, as did Yamal, Fermín, and Gordon, each finding the net at the weekend. For that match, Flick improvised the defense, playing De Jong there, although the center-back pairing against Villa this time could be Martin and Cubarsi.
Aston Villa hasn't beaten Barcelona since 1983. Barcelona have looked good in the Champions League this season, currently second in their group, having won all their matches, with only Arsenal and Stuttgart conceding fewer goals. Emery's side are coming off a 1-1 draw against Fulham, with Jackson scoring in a match where McGinn missed a penalty.

Our Barcelona vs Aston Villa Prediction
A Lamine Yamal scoring on Tuesday would break Mbappé's record for most Champions League goals by a teenager, but the more likely scoring opportunity could come from Raphinha, who already has 17 this season.
Even so, perhaps the safest bet is on a high-scoring match, considering that Barcelona conceded the first goal in 9 of their previous 12 Champions League games.
Our prediction for Barcelona vs Aston Villa is: Over 3.5 goals.
