Match Preview on Young Boys vs Aston Villa

Young Boys

Young Boys enter this Champions League clash after a 4-2 win over Vevey-Sports in the Schweizer Cup. Currently ranked 36th in the UEFA club rankings, Young Boys have struggled to find consistency in the Swiss Super League, sitting bottom-table. Despite a recent 3-2 victory over Galatasaray, they will face a stern test against the Premier League’s Aston Villa.

Young Boys’ key player Filip Ugrinic will look to provide the creativity, but their defense has been leaky, conceding nine goals in their last five games.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa, fresh from a hard-fought 3-2 win against Everton, sit 5th in the Premier League standings. With a strong attacking unit led by Ollie Watkins, Villa have been in excellent form, winning four of their last five matches. Manager Unai Emery’s team is well-drilled and will aim to carry this momentum into Europe.

Aston Villa has averaged over 2.5 goals in their last six games and will look to impose their high-pressing game on Young Boys.
