There is no bigger game in the Champions League on Wednesday than this one. It’s been 41 years since Aston Villa played a home game in the Champions League, and what better game for Villa Park to host than this one? Bayern Munich are six-time winners of the competition and currently lead the German league. They won their first game of this year’s Champions League 9-2 against Dinamo Zagreb. Although Aston Villa will be much stronger competition, the Germans are rightfully -135 favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Aston Villa Draw No Bet (+220)
The atmosphere inside Villa Park on Wednesday night will be electric. These fans have waited 41 years for this moment, and they will provide a very tough environment for Bayern Munich. Bayern are a great team, but so is Aston Villa. They have started the season in great form, currently sitting only two points behind Liverpool at the top of the English Premier League. They have won four, drawn one and lost one in their first six games. In their opening Champions League game this season, they got a convincing 3-0 win away from home. Although the odds aren’t as good, I like the draw-no bet instead of moneyline here, because the bet will void if the game finishes in a tie. Both of these teams have started the season well, but one will have to falter here. I will give Villa the slight advantage in this spot because of the occasion and atmosphere, but it won’t be easy.
