Analysis

Young Boys will need to attack from the start if they want to have any chance of advancing to the group stage. Aston Villa will be happy to sit back and defend their lead, but they will also be dangerous on the counterattack.

The key battle in the match will be in midfield, where Young Boys will need to control possession and create chances for their attackers. Aston Villa's midfield will need to be disciplined and organized to prevent Young Boys from getting a foothold in the game.

Ultimately, Aston Villa will be the favorites to advance to the group stage. They have a one-goal lead from the first leg, and they have a more experienced and talented squad than Young Boys. However, Young Boys have shown that they are capable of causing upsets, and they will be determined to make the most of their home advantage.
