BSC Young Boys vs Aston Villa Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Simon Day | in Champions League Picks
Aston Villa's first ever Champions League game sees them travel to Switzerland, to take on a Young Boys side who are yet to win a game in their domestic league. Villa have made a solid start to their Premier League campaign, with three wins in their opening four games. Last time out, they overturned a 2-0 deficit to edge out Everton 3-2, with Jhon Duran scoring his third winning goal of the season. In contrast, Young Boys have picked up just three points from their opening six games in the Swiss Super League. But despite that dreadful form, they produced a superb defensive effort to edge out Galatasaray in the Champion League final qualifying round.Limited Offer. Currently at BetMGM

BSC Young Boys - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
BSC are no strangers to this competition, and will be hoping to pick up as many points as possible in front of their home fans, as a place in the top 8 or 24 is only possible with excellent results at home. With four wins in five outings, most recently a 4-2 victory over Vevey, Patrick Rahmen's men have prepared in the best possible way for this European showdown. Underestimating the yellow and blacks is forbidden, or you'll be in for a surprise at 8.30pm...
On paper, the team coached by Unai Emery remains the favorite in the eyes of the bookmakers, although the home side's strength on the European stage should not be underestimated. The momentum is positive for England. After an away win against Leicester City, Unai Emery's men have just enjoyed a sensational weekend in terms of emotions. Trailing 2-0 to the Toffees, the Villans found the resources to turn things around, scoring the winning goal shortly before the 80th minute, through Jhon Duran, who fired an XXL shot into the top corner.

BSC Young Boys & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
Alan Virginius, who arrived in the final hours of the summer transfer window, will be the man to watch in the English defence. With two goals in three games, the former Lille man seems to have found the right place to give his career a boost. With five different goalscorers in 180 minutes, the danger can come from anywhere in the Bernese attack.
With a solid squad on every line, and a host of talented players, Aston Villa will be looking to take on their first opponents of the tournament. Indeed, the English team's backbone means they can start any match with confidence. We're talking, of course, about Martinez in goal, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, accompanied by a quartet of Torres - Onana - McGinn - Watkins up front. Add to this a host of young talents such as Rogers and Ramsey, and you have a competitive team from the outset.

Our BSC Young Boys vs Aston Villa Prediction
As introductions to the Champions League go, this is a relatively gentle one for Villa. Young Boys are in dreadful form and will be missing a couple of key players. On the other hand, Villa will be full of confidence after their remarkable win over Everton, and go into this game as big favorites. That being said, they are vulnerable defensively, so we think the Swiss side could cause them a few problems. Because of that, our prediction for Young Boys vs Aston Villa is: Villa to win and both teams to score, +175 at BetMGM.
