Our prediction for the match Young Boys vs Aston Villa
“The Wasps” continued to dominate Swiss football. They managed to win the local Super League once again, and they did it without much competition, ahead of schedule – the second title in a row and the sixth one, starting from the 2017/2018 season. “The Villains” became the main sensation of the previous Premier League cycle, having managed, while simultaneously playing in the Conference League (they started with the summer qualification and reached the spring play-offs), to win the fight with the more experienced opponent, Tottenham, for 4th place.
The Swiss champions have got a new coach, Patrick Rahman. They also signed a number of players – Bajrami, Banhie Zoukrou and Abdu Conte, Virginius, Pfeiffer. Birmingham will no longer have Diaby, Archer, Dendoncker, Moreno, but in general the squad was strengthened for the Champions League by signing Maatsen, Onana, Bogarde and Zych, as well as by buying back Philogene-Bidace from Hull.
The new coach of “the Yellow and Blacks” had a disastrous start. First, there were 3 defeats, and then they tied with the same 2-2 score in the struggles with Zurich and Yverdon. Then the team managed to pull themselves together, and after a 10-0 result with no-names in the cup, it unexpectedly beat confidently Galatasaray: a 3-2 score on the native field and a 1-0 result at the away arena. Still, the summer ended with only a 1-1 home draw in the meeting with Lausanne. Speaking about the pre-Champions League period, the club won a cup confrontation with a 4-2 score, but that happened in the game against modest Vevey Sport 05. Emery’s wards did not oppose Arsenal, losing with a 0-2 result, but they won with West Ham and Leicester. As for the match with Everton, the team turned 0-2 into 3-2.
