Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa – November 2024
The first meeting produced Villa’s only defeat against Club Brugge.
Emery’s side travelled to Belgium during Matchday 4 of the 2024/25 Champions League league phase after winning each of their opening three European fixtures.
The game was decided in unusual circumstances.
Tyrone Mings handled the ball after Emiliano Martínez appeared to restart play with a short goal kick, allowing Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken to score the resulting penalty.
Vanaken’s 52nd-minute spot kick proved enough to secure a 1-0 victory.
As highlighted by UEFA’s official Matchday 1 facts guide, that result remains Club Brugge’s only victory across their last 19 matches against English opposition.
It also means Villa know from experience how difficult Tuesday’s venue can be.
Our Club Brugge form and scouting guide explains why the Belgian champions’ recent European home record should provide Emery with another warning.
Club Brugge 1-3 Aston Villa – March 2025
Villa returned to the same stadium four months later with considerably more success.
The clubs were drawn together in the Champions League round of 16 after Villa finished eighth in the league phase and Club Brugge progressed through the knockout play-offs.
Leon Bailey gave Villa a dream start by scoring after only three minutes.
Maxim De Cuyper equalised soon afterwards, but Villa struck twice during the closing stages.
A Brandon Mechele own goal restored their advantage before Marco Asensio converted an 88th-minute penalty.
Villa therefore returned home with a 3-1 first-leg victory and a commanding advantage in the tie.
It also demonstrated that Emery’s side can win at the Jan Breydel Stadium despite Club Brugge’s impressive European home record.
Aston Villa 3-0 Club Brugge – March 2025
The return fixture was even more convincing.
Villa won 3-0 at Villa Park, completing a 6-1 aggregate victory and progressing into the Champions League quarter-finals.
That remains the most recent meeting between the two clubs.
The two knockout victories completely transformed a head-to-head record which had begun with defeat only four months earlier.
Villa subsequently faced Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals before eventually exiting 5-4 on aggregate.

Aston Villa lead Club Brugge head-to-head
The previous meetings in full are:
- 6 November 2024: Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa

- 12 March 2025: Aston Villa 3-0 Club Brugge
Overall record: Aston Villa two wins, Club Brugge one win, no draws.
Villa have therefore won both of the clubs’ most recent meetings and scored six goals across those victories.
There is another encouraging historical statistic for Emery.
Club Brugge’s 2024 victory against Villa is their only success across their last 19 matches against English clubs, with three draws and 15 defeats during that sequence.
Tuesday will provide the fourth chapter.
Villa’s current domestic form may be disappointing, but their recent history against Club Brugge offers considerably more encouragement.
