Kick-off on 17.09.24 19:45.

In the first round of the Champions League stage, a match between Young Boys and Aston Villa will take place at Stadion Wankdorf in Bern. The hosts began their journey in the final qualifying round, where they eliminated Galatasaray (3-2, 1-0). Although the Yellow-Blacks made their debut in the competition back in the 1957/58 season, they have participated in only 15 editions. Since 2015, the Bees have missed only the 2022/23 campaign due to poor league performances. However, they have reached the group stage only three times in their history. The visitors previously competed in the Champions League in the 1981/82 and 1982/83 seasons, meaning this will be the Lions' third appearance in the tournament after a 42-year wait.

The media service Megogo will broadcast the Young Boys vs. Aston Villa match online on 17.09.2024.

The hosts have suffered four defeats in their last 17 home matches in the Champions League. During this period, the Yellow-Blacks secured notable home victories over Manchester United (2-1) and Juventus (2-1), while also playing a thrilling draw against Atalanta (3-3). The Bees failed to score only once in this stretch, in a 0-3 defeat to the Red Devils. In total, the Swiss capital club has played four home games against English opponents in the competition, winning twice.

Aston Villa has played only 15 matches in the Champions League, all in the early 1980s. On the road, the Claret and Blue Army faced Beşiktaş (0-0), Dinamo Bucharest (2-0), Juventus (1-3), Icelandic side Valur (2-0), Dynamo Berlin (2-1), Dynamo Kyiv (0-0), and Anderlecht (0-0). Thus, the Lions have suffered just one away defeat in the competition. Since the early 2000s, the club has only qualified for European tournaments six times.
