Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Stuttgart will try to recover from an embarrassing 5-1 loss to Crvena Zvezda when they take on Young Boys in the Champions League round 6. Die Schwaben defeated Union Berlin 3-2 in their last Bundesliga game and a triumph over Young Boys could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Bear in mind, though, that all Undav, Leweling, Raimund, Zagadou, and Toure continue to miss out with injuries.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Sion at the weekend and given their difficulties on the road in European competitions, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Wednesday’s clash. All Colley, Conte, and Janko are sidelined with injuries for the away team, while quartet Chaiwa, Seiler, Zoukrou, and Crnovrsanin will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Last time out, back in 2010, Stuttgart defeated Young Boys 3-0 at MHPArena.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Nubel):
Alexander Nubel is a German goalkeeper who plays for Schalke 04 as a goalkeeper. Nubel started his youth career at TSV Tudorf and he moved to SC Paderborn in the summer of 2005. The 193-cm-tall shoot-stopper, though, did not see any game action with Paderborn at senior level as he joined Schalke 04 in 2015.
After making 24 appearances for the reserve team, Alexander Nubel made his debut with the senior team on May 14, 2016. The German goalkeeper made 18 appearances for die knappen in the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season, keeping five clean sheets in the process. Alexander Nubel has 17 caps for the Germany U21 team as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
The talented shoot-stopper was born in Paderborn, Germany on September 30, 1996. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with die Knappen until June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Young Boys):
Just five years after its foundation Young Boys won their first Swiss Super League trophy (1903). The capital club won no less than 11 domestic trophies in the 20th century, but they have been in Basel’s shadow in the last two decades. Young Boys won their last Swiss Super League title back in 1986, while lifting their last Swiss Cup trophy in 1987.
The Yellow and Blacks welcome their rivals at Stade de Suisse, which acts as a national stadium and it has to be noted that they play their home games on artificial turf. Swiss football legend Stephane Chapuisat played for the club in the past and you should bear in mind that former Yugoslavia coach Vujadin Boskov played for the Stade de Suisse outfit in the past as well.
Young Boys played their first official game on 29 June, 1898 and they shared the spoils with Institute Grunau back then. The Swiss team participated in the 2016/2017 Champions League qualifiers, but they failed to make it to the group stages of the elite competition.
