Monaco vs Aston Villa Prediction, Lineups and Odds: Back Duran at 12/1 tonight

Aston Villa's Champions League clash away to Monaco is fast approaching. Here at BettingOdds, we've previewed the match, picked out our two best bets - including a 12/1 goalscorer special - and provided information on the lineups.
Monaco vs Aston Villa Predictions
Backing Amadou Onana to be booked tonight feels like a solid choice. The Belgian midfielder is a key player for Aston Villa and plays a physical and defensive role. This often leads to fouls and increases his chances of getting a yellow card.
This season, Onana has already picked up four yellow cards in 13 Premier League starts this season. Last season, when he played for Everton, he received five yellow cards in 30 matches.
With his aggressive style of play and the intense nature of tonight’s match, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him booked again. Backing Onana to get a yellow card seems like a smart and well-informed bet.

For my second tip, I am backing Jhon Duran to score from outside the box. Durán has consistently shown he can produce incredible goals from long range, both in the Premier League and this season’s Champions League.
In the Premier League, Durán has already delivered standout moments with his shooting ability. One of his most memorable goals came against Everton earlier this season, where he unleashed a powerful strike from outside the box that left the goalkeeper with no chance. His confidence and technique from distance make him a constant threat.
In the Champions League, he has also made a big impact from distance. Against Bayern Munich, he scored a stunning winner by lobbing the goalkeeper from long range in a 1-0 victory. Later in the group stages, he added another spectacular goal from outside the box in Villa’s thrilling 3-2 win over RB Leipzig. These moments highlight his ability to score from outside the box.
With his track record of scoring from distance and his confidence in big matches, Durán is well worth backing especially at odds of 12/1.
Monaco vs Aston Villa Lineups
Monaco have been hit with injuries and illness with Folarin Balogun, George Ilenikhena, and Krepin Diatta all out, while Dennis Zakaria and Wilfried Singo are both doubts.
Diego Carlos is suspended for Aston Villa, but skipper John McGinn - who has scored twice in the competition this season - could feature.
The lineups for both Monaco and Aston Villa will be displayed in the graphic below as soon as they are announced.
