Prediction: 1-1
Young Boys
Stadionul Dr. Constantin Radulescu will host Tuesday’s football game between Cluj and Young Boys, the two teams who eliminated Lincoln Red Imps and Slovan Bratislava respectively in the Champions League second qualifying round. The Romanians face an uphill task in Tuesday’s clash, and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in the first leg. Cluj head coach Marius Sumudica should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Young Boys, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late, and given their attacking potential, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Young Boys midfielder Michel Aebischer must be cautious in the first leg as he is one yellow card away from suspension. You should bear in mind that both teams found the net in each of their previous three meetings in all competitions.
Highlighted Player (Billel Omrani ):
Billel Omrani is a French footballer descent who plays for CFR Cluj as a forward. Born in Forbach on June 2, 1993, Omrani started his youth career at the age of six. Following spells with Merlebach and Gymnastique Marienau youth teams, Omrani moved to Marseille in 2007, and he continued playing for the OM senior team.
After scoring one goal in six appearances in the league for the club, Billel Omrani moved to CFR Cluj in 2016, but, in a meantime, he played for Arles-Avignon on loan as well. The French attacker has established himself as a first-team regular at the Romanian club, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the France national football team.
Omrani, though, has two caps with the France U19 team. His elder brother Abdelhakim is a footballer as well. Abdelhakim plays for Romanian club Dunarea Calarasi. Omrani’s favourite position in centre-forward, but he is used as a winger as well.
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.
