Command Analysis

Young Boys

Current form
Young Boys are having a very unsuccessful start to the season in the domestic championship, sitting in last place after six rounds. The "young men" have still not won a single victory in the national championship. In the last round, a 1:1 draw was recorded with Lausanne. At the same time, Patrick Rahman's charges are quite successful in other tournaments. Thus, in the national Cup, they managed to easily deal with Vevey in the 1/16 finals (4:2).
In the Champions League qualification, the Swiss club left the ambitious Turkish Galatasaray behind. Moreover, they managed to win both at home (3:2) and away with a score of 1:0. It is impossible not to note the team's ability to carry out counterattacks clearly and quickly, while difficulties often arise in defense, you can see how the players literally "bring" goals to themselves.
It should be noted that throughout its history, Young Boys has made it to the group stage three times, but has never played in the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Janko, Lakomy, Pfeiffer, Conte are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting

- Young Boys have conceded at least two goals in five of their last seven Champions League games at home

Aston Villa

Current form
After more than 40 years , Aston Villa is returning to the Champions League. The team last played in the most prestigious European Cup back in 1983. They managed to get into the main part of the tournament thanks to the fact that last season the Birmingham team finished in fourth place in the Premier League. Undoubtedly, the players' motivation will be off the charts today.
Unai Emery's men are in good shape. They have collected nine points in the Premier League over four rounds, with which the team is in fifth place.
In the last round, Aston Villa beat Everton (3:2) at home, not without problems, losing 0:2 during the match. Of course, we cannot ignore the problems in defense – they have not managed to keep a clean sheet in the championship even once.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mings, Bailey, Cash, Kamara, Carlos are injured and will not play in the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Aston Villa have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four competitive matches
- Birmingham have not won in regulation time in European competition in their previous four away games
- In four of Aston Villa's last six away European games, both teams have scored
Probable line-up : Martinez - Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Digne - Onana, Tielemans - McGinn, Rodgers, Ramsey - Watkins.

Since the start of the season, Young Boys have actually only "shot" in matches against Galatasaray. Overall, the Swiss have too many problems in their defensive game. Plus, the visitors have a noticeable advantage in class and the ability to achieve a positive result even when the game is not going well, which was noticeable in the match against Everton. We believe that the bookmakers' favorite will win today.
Our prediction is Aston Villa to win at odds of 1.65
Bet on total
Since the start of the season, Aston Villa have played four official matches and have not kept a clean sheet in any of them. Young Boys are great on the counterattack and are unlikely to miss out on a goal, but it will be difficult to hold off an attack from a superior opponent.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.62
Combined rate
Aston Villa have won all three of their victories this season over the total. The upcoming meeting is unlikely to be an exception.
Prediction - Aston Villa win and total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.25
