Match Facts

  • 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).
