by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions

These two sides have never faced off in a competitive match in the past but Villa have been tagged as the out-and-out favourites in this contest by all bookmakers. Under the new Champions League format, every point earned counts, and both these sides will be looking to kick off their European campaigns on a winning note. Here are the key stats.

BSC Young Boys - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Young Boys earned their place in the new-look Champions League by pulling off an against-the-odds 4-2 aggregate victory over Turkish giants Galatasaray in the final qualifying round of this competition last month.
However, aside from their European triumph, the Swiss outfit’s league form this season has been exceptionally poor by their own standards, as they are still searching for their first victory in the top flight this season.
YB played out a 1-1 draw to Lausanne-Sport on Saturday evening, marking their third consecutive stalemate in league competition following three consecutive defeats at the start of the campaign.
Aston Villa have never qualified for Europe’s elite club competition since it was rebranded to the Champions League in 1992!
Still, it has been a sensational last 12 months for the Villans, as they fended off the likes of giants such as Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester United to finish fourth in the Premier League last season.
This term, Unai Emery’s side have made another positive start, winning three of their first four league games, and they will be brimming with confidence after coming from 2-0 down to beat Everton at home over the weekend.
Villa have won both their away league games this season and reached the semi-final of the Conference League last term before bowing out to eventual champions Olympiacos.

BSC Young Boys & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
A fair chunk of Young Boys’ domestic struggles this season is attributable to their lengthy casualty list, which currently features as many as six first-team players.
Facinet Conte has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury, while defenders Saidy Janko and Patric Pfeiffer are sidelined for the foreseeable future with muscle injuries.
Shorter-term absentees include Lukasz Lakomy (leg), Abdu Conte (muscle) and Loris Benito, though the latter is reportedly back in training following a knee injury.
Leon Bailey could return to the Villans starting lineup for this week’s trip to Switzerland!
Ollie Watkins shook off an injury concern to feature against Everton over the weekend and also opened his account for the season, scoring a brace for the Villans in the victory at Villa Park.
However, Unai Emery still has several players unavailable due to injury, including the likes of Tyrone Mings (cruciate ligament), Boubacar Kamara (knee), and Matty Cash (hamstring).
