Champions League, Tuesday, 17.09.2024 at 18:45
We not only have an unprecedented mode in our Champions League tips, but also new participants! So for Aston Villa, virtually nothing changes, as they are in the Champions League for the first time. The 1982 Champions Cup winners are clear favorites for the premiere.
In my Young Boys Aston Villa betting tip, I’ll take a look at these two disparate teams, who are in completely different moods. The international competition should, in my estimation, get off to an offensive start
My decision in this game was to bet on the combination of over 2.5 goals and goals on both sides. At Oddset, I have picked out suitable odds of 1.78 for the bet, which I will of course back up in my analysis.
The bookmakers’ Young Boys Aston Villa prediction sees the visitors in front, and with a clear lead, resulting in odds of 1.70 to 4.70. The simple reason: one team is in a good mood, while the other is in the doldrums in the league.
In my Young Boys Aston Villa betting tip, there is a lot to analyze, because if a newcomer is seen so far ahead on the road, there must be several reasons for this
The bookmakers’ forecast
The Young Boys may have knocked out Galatasaray in the Champions League qualifiers, but that alone is not enough for them to be considered favorites on Tuesday. Accordingly, the odds of victory reach an average of 4.70.
Although Aston Villa is back in Europe’s top competition for the first time since 1983, the team will be the immediate favorite in Bern. The role of the leading team is clear, with odds of 1.70.
A draw is of course always a possibility, but as one team is expected to be much stronger this time, it is only logical that the odds for the points split are around 4.20.
KI prediction Young Boys vs Aston Villa: This is what ChatGPT predicts
Not in the mood to search for lucrative betting tips yourself? Well, let’s fire up ChatGPT then! I asked the AI for the match between Young Boys and Aston Villa what bets it would give me with different levels of risk.
We are taking a high risk if we follow the AI’s advice and place bet 1. I would be very cautious here, because the Bernese crisis is omnipresent, while Aston Villa have made a great start
I could be a little more comfortable with the bet that goes into the medium risk, namely the double chance 1X. This tip implies a draw, as the English are completely new to the top flight and the home games of the Yellow and Blacks are very close, I’ll take the DC 1X.
You want a safe bet in terms of an over/under bet? ChatPGT recommends the over 2.5 goals here. My opinion? It makes sense! The Villans score a lot of goals, and defensively the Young Boys are quite insecure. And since I’m betting on the combination of BTS and Over 2.5 anyway, you’ve certainly got my approval here
Analysis: Young Boys vs Aston Villa
Welcome to the Champions League, Aston Villa! The English side earned their place in the competition by finishing fourth in 2023/24, and from now on everything is new for them.
Strictly speaking, everything is new for all clubs, because the top flight has changed its competition and now has a new look. The goal of all teams: to finish in the top eight
For Aston Villa as a newcomer, that would of course be a very special success. Realistic or not? Of course, we only have the facts from the domestic competition to go on, because historically there is no data yet.
Four rounds have been played in the Premier League this season, three of which the Villans have won. 2-1 against West Ham, 2-1 against Leicester and 3-2 against Everton, nobody could complain about a lack of goals
Quota analysis
Aside from the 1×2 bets and the AI predictions, there are of course some other top bets for Tuesday. The Villans are the favored team in my eyes, which is why I assume a 1-0 lead. If you want to take a chance on this bet, you can look forward to odds of 1.51.
Like a higher value? Due to the very weak Swiss defense and the individual class of the favorites, it could well be that the English will score twice in the first half. For this assumption, the betting odds would jump to 3.60.
A result bet is always in the effective profit range. I would perhaps go for the ever-popular 2:1 here, only reversed! Should Aston Villa win narrowly, the odds at Bet365 would jump to 8.50.
Young Boys vs Aston Villa odds: Bet on lots of goals?
In addition to the 2-0 defeat against Arsenal. Goals against? They are the order of the day at Aston Villa. Was that already the case last season for the Conference League semi-finalists?
With a goal difference of 76:61, they averaged 3.6 goals per game, which certainly reads as if boredom is not to be expected. At home it was 4.0, away “only” 3.2.
Of course, the Champions League is a different competition, so it’s quite possible that Aston Villa will adopt a different style of play here, especially as it’s their first match ever, and primarily want to strengthen their defense.
Aston Villa will be unconcerned in this game?
In any case, the start to the season in England’s elite class has been very promising and suggests that 2024/25 will also be a busy one.
The Villans can turn a 2-0 lead into a win, but they can also lead 2-0 and then hold on for a 2-1 victory. In the last edition of the Conference League, where they were eliminated by Piraeus after conceding six goals, only one away game was won.
Legia Warsaw, Zrinjski Mostar, Lille and Olympiakos were apparently too strong for an away win, with only Alkmaar managing a success. At the same time, the English kept one clean sheet
So it’s no wonder that the BTS odds in our sports betting apps only minimally exceed the 1.50 odds. The Young Boys from Bern are of course not only in the Champions League, but are also playing in the group stage for only the fourth time.
In qualifying, the Yellow and Blacks came through with two narrow victories against Galatasaray, even though they were the clear underdogs.
Why? Quite simply because the Swiss are acting as if they were a relegation candidate in their league! Three defeats and three draws, nobody really knows why they haven’t won
14 goals have been conceded, in five out of six games they have scored at least twice in their own box. Accordingly, I look at the odds for the bet “Over 1.5 goals Aston Villa” at Winamax. The result is 1.50, so it seems very likely!
Admittedly, it’s not easy to pick out positive facts. Perhaps that the three home games were slightly stronger on aggregate. 1:2, 2:2 and 1:1, and I could also see that a lead was squandered in each match.
In addition, at least the fact that the Young Boys themselves scored in five of the six matches has become apparent. Silvere Ganvoula was successful three times, so he will have a lot of responsibility on Tuesday as well
My Young Boys Aston Villa tip:
A new mode, a new team, Aston Villa want to show their best side in the Champions League, and they have already made a very good start to this season in the Premier League.
Last season, the Villans already caught my eye as a team that loves to score up front, but also lets a lot in at the back. That means for Young Boys: there’s a lot in it, which is something you like to hear in a crisis.
The Swiss are struggling through the season, it’s a miracle that they even made it into the CL against Galatasaray. Since the defense is really allowing far too much, I have decided to place the following offensive bet:
Both score over 2.5 goals!
