Aston Villa will look to maintain their perfect Champions League start when they take on Viking at Villa Park. Unai Emery’s men have made brilliant with victories over Club Brugge (3-2) and Fenerbahçe (6-0), while Saturday’s 1-0 win over Newcastle provided another confidence boost. Johan Manzambi has overcome a minor injury and should be available, although Aaron Wan-Bissaka is ruled out. Villa have averaged 2.25 goals per home game in the supplied statistics, underlining their attacking potential.
Viking, meanwhile, proved they can compete with Europe’s elite by holding Bayern Munich to a thrilling 3-3 draw in round two. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen’s side are unlikely to abandon their attacking approach, especially after recording a 3-2 league victory over Fredrikstad at the weekend. Midfielder Kristoffer Askildsen returns after serving a suspension, giving the Norwegian champions another option in the middle of the park. Viking have scored 2.00 goals per away game in the supplied figures.
Villa’s quality and home advantage make them favourites and we do not believe that Viking are capable of claiming a major scalp. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Villa Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at 20:00.
