Prediction: 2-2
Crvena Zvezda
A spot in the Europa League knockout stages will be at stake when Young Boys and Crvena zvezda lock horns at Stadion Wankdorf on Tuesday evening. The Swiss champions failed to spoil Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium in their last group game, but their performance in a 6-1 crushing of Luzern is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Crvena zvezda. Midfielder Sandro Lauper serves a one-game ban, while both Lukasz Lakomy and Kastriot Imeri remain in the recovery room.
Barak Bakhar’s troops, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Leipzig and seeing that they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, both teams to score betting option should be considered. It has to be noted that Zvezda managed to find the net in each of their four group games. Barak Bakhar should have a full squad to choose from.
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.
