I had a little Blick at their reddit page. "Aston Villa ist echt gut drauf [yikes emoji]" was one headline, then the first commenter was optimistic before conceding "ich bin ein bisschen delusional". So they think they're underdogs, and they're OK with that. They've clearly not met us before if they think we're obvious favourites. Quite sweet of them really.
In fact, they seem like a nice bunch of lads in general. Annoyingly.
