Prediction: 2-3
Feyenoord
Young Boys and Feyenoord face each other at Tissot Arena at the 2018 Uhren Cup. Young Boys aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Ludogorets, but Wednesday’s football match will be anything but a walk in the park for the Swiss side. Feyenoord head into the game following a thrilling 8-1 victory over SDC Putten and the Dutch team are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Young Boys. Karim El Ahmadi returns from international duty, but the experienced Morocco midfielder could be rested in the friendly against the Swiss outfit. Anyhow, we believe that Feyenoord are more of a team than Young Boys and we are tempted to put our money on Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s troops. A lively contest is on the cards and we believe that fans will see a real football festival at Tissot Arena.
