Aston Villa vs Young Boys prediction

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa come into this one on the back of a come from behind 2-1 defeat of Leeds United at Elland Road in their most recent outing at the weekend. That victory means that they have now enjoyed nine wins in their last 11 matches across all competitions since a six-match winless start to the campaign.

Young Boys come into this one on the back of a 5-0 demolition of Winterthur in the Swiss Super League at the weekend, continuing their strong domestic form. However, in the UEFA Europa League, they were most recently beaten 4-0 by PAOK Salonika, making it two victories and two defeats in their four matches.

Young Boys have been better this season but they are quite an average side for this context and so Villa should come out on top here with their home advantage.
