Aston Villa – Young Boys

In Birmingham, fans will see at least three goals.

Aston Villa's current season started in a way that the "hottest" heads even spoke about the possibility of Unai Emery's resignation from the coaching position. However, after a series of initial failures, the management of the "villains" expressed full confidence in the Spanish specialist, which almost immediately justified itself. The Birmingham club began to score goals and systematically win. By the end of November this year, this returned them to among the strongest clubs in the Premier League and solidified their status as favorites in the Europa League. In addition to the high class of the "villains", the football community does not forget that Emery is a merited master of triumphs in this tournament. After four rounds, Aston Villa has nine points in the standings, allowing them to occupy sixth place. The only defeat the "villains" suffered was against Go Ahead Eagles before their matches with Manchester City and Liverpool. Young Boys, in the past season, became the third team from Switzerland, losing places in the Champions League qualification to Servette and Basel. In the playoff qualification, they defeated Slovan Bratislava twice and rightfully reached the group stage, where at the moment they have exchanged two victories for two defeats. Bookmakers have made the hosts favorites of the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.20 on their victory. After the initial hiccup, Aston Villa has reached another level in the Premier League. Now the "villains" not only win but do so convincingly. In the last seven rounds of the English championship, the Birmingham team has won six times. Among others, Manchester City and Tottenham have fallen under the pressure of Emery's charges. In only one of the victorious matches during this period did the "villains" score fewer than two goals. Young Boys players surely understand where and whom they are going to play against. To achieve results in Birmingham, they need to equally attack and defend their goal well. Here, within the ranks of the Swiss club, there may be a disparity. In the last round of the Europa League, Young Boys lost to PAOK 0:4, after which they scored four and five goals against St. Gallen and Winterthur respectively in the national championship. Let's bet that the opponents will score at least three goals combined.
