UEFA Europa League

The only previous European meeting between Aston Villa and Young Boys was in the UEFA Champions League league phase last season - Villa won 3-0 in Switzerland on MD1.
Young Boys have failed to win on any of their six European visits to England (D2 L4), only avoiding defeat in draws with Liverpool (2-2 in UEFA Europa League, November 2012) and Man Utd (1-1 in UEFA Champions League, December 2021).
Aston Villa have won all five of their home European matches in 2025 (x3 in the UEFA Champions League, x2 in the Europa League) - since the start of 2023-24, they've won more home major European matches than any other club (12 in 14 games).
Young Boys have conceded the most of any side in the UEFA Europa League this season (10), while since the start of 2024-25 they've shipped 34 goals in 12 major European matches (also in 24 in the Champions League) - more than anyone else.
Donyell Malen has scored 10 goals in 18 UEFA Europa League appearances (8 in 12 for PSV, 1 in 2 for Borussia Dortmund, 1 in 4 for Aston Villa), although he's yet to assist a goal in the competition. Since 2009-10, the only players with more goals in the competition without assisting are Youssef En-Nesyri and Fernando Torres (12 each).
