Aston Villa, experiencing a revival, will host Norwegian team Viking FK at Villa Park for their third match in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The home side aims to secure their third consecutive victory in the League Phase of Europe's top club tournament, while the visitors are looking to earn their first three points of the season. After a tough start to the Premier League season where they failed to score in their first three matches, Aston Villa has bounced back with five wins in their last seven games across all competitions (D1 L1), scoring 19 goals during this stretch. Unai Emery recently marked his 100th Premier League victory as a manager, leading Villa to a narrow 1-0 win against Newcastle United last weekend, thanks to a first-half header from summer recruit Johan Manzambi, who has now scored three times in four games. Currently, Villa is positioned 12th in the Premier League but sits third in the 36-team Champions League standings. They began their campaign with a 3-2 win at Club Brugge, followed by a remarkable 6-0 victory over Fenerbahce last week—this being their largest win in European history. As one of nine teams in the Champions League with a perfect record so far, Villa heads into Wednesday's match looking to maintain two impressive club records in Europe: a 14-match unbeaten streak at home (W13 D1) and an ongoing 11-game winning streak at Villa Park. The reigning Europa League champions have shown a strong ability to score in European competitions, having found the net in 22 of their last 23 matches and scoring three or more goals in six of their previous eight encounters. Viking FK, participating in the Champions League for the first time since their debut in the 1992-93 season, has managed to earn just one point from their first two League Phase matches, but they can take encouragement from their recent performance against Bayern Munich.
