Aston Villa marked their return to the Champions League after a 40-year absence with a win against Swiss champions Young Boys on September 17, 2024, in Bern. Goals from Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey in the first half gave Villa control, despite two disallowed goals for handball by VAR. Amadou Onana later secured the victory with a stunning 30-yard strike. This win added to their momentum after a comeback victory against Everton, with Ollie Watkins scoring twice and Jhon Duran netting the winner.
Villa, having won three of their four Premier League matches this season, now aim for a fourth victory, a feat they’ve only achieved three times before. With an intense schedule ahead, including an EFL Cup tie against Wycombe Wanderers and a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, manager Unai Emery remains focused. However, Villa’s recent defensive struggles at Villa Park—conceding 26 goals in 12 games—could be a concern.
On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite a 2-0 defeat in their last meeting with Villa, have lost just one of their last five visits to Villa Park. However, Wolves are in a tough spot, with just one win from their last 14 Premier League games, making this their worst run in over two years. They currently sit 18th in the table with just one point, having conceded the most long-range goals this season.
Wolves also suffered a midweek exit from the EFL Cup, losing to Brighton despite goals from Goncalo Guedes and Tommy Doyle. Manager Gary O’Neil will be eager to reverse their fortunes in their upcoming league match.
