After a mixed bag of pre-season results Villa will face their toughest opponents yet, RB Leipzig. Under the astute leadership of manager Unai Emery, Villa have been impressive in the transfer market, adding depth and quality to their squad in time for the Champions League. The big money signing of Amadou Onana should give them plenty of control in the midfield, although their last pre-season game against ended in a 4-1 defeat.

RB Leipzig are known for their dynamic and high-pressing style under Marco Rose. Their ability to adapt quickly and their aggressive approach will be critical against a Villa side that emphasizes possession and structured play.
