Aston Villa vs Young Boys Current League Standings

The Brummy side have enjoyed an excellent start to their European campaign this season. Their only defeat came away to Go Ahead Eagles, but crucial wins against Bologna, Feyenoord and Maccabi Tel-Aviv see Villa reside in sixth place. Heading into the second half of the league phase, if they can match the record they have attained thus far, they will cruise into the top eight.

As for Young Boys, making top eight could be very difficult from here. Already two wins and two losses from their first four fixtures, a tough tie in Birmingham could see them drop out of the top 24. They have managed to pick up strong wins over FCSB and Ludogorets but defeats to PAOK and Panathinaikos will not help their top eight credentials.
