Young Boys vs Aston Villa live stream: How to watch Champions League game online today, team news

The Young Boys vs Aston Villa live stream will prove a tricky encounter as both sides kick off their Champions League campaigns today — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Aston Villa return to Europe’s top competition for the first time in 41 years. They had been crowned European champions in 1982. This match follows a dramatic 3-2 win over Everton on Saturday thanks to a screamer from Jhon Durán. The Colombian is proving a very effective super sub, while Ollie Watkins also has his shooting boots on, netting twice in the same game.

Their Swiss opponents have been far more consistent Champions League qualifiers, making it through to the competition proper four times in the last six seasons. Young Boys may not be packed with star names, but they are unbeaten in the last six games across all competitions. The Villains' deep run in the Conference League last season will have given them some good European experience though. 

Here's how they line up:

Young Boys: Von Ballmoos, Athekame, Camara, Zoukrou, Hadjam, Lauper, Niasse, Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley, Ganvoula

Aston Villa: Martinez, Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Onana, Tielemans, Rogers, Ramsey, Watkins 

Make sure you don’t miss a single game by checking out how to watch Champions League live streams.
