The Villans beat Club Brugge in their European opener and then put six past Fenerbahce last week to rise to third in the League Phase table after the first two rounds of fixtures.

The slow start to the season made by Unai Emery's side has all but been forgotten as Villa have won five of their last seven games in all competitions.

Viking should not be underestimated, however, and were good value for their 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich last week.

The 2025 Eliteserien winners are playing in the Champions League for the first time in more than three decades and will be targetting a spot in the knock-out rounds.
