Prediction: Young Boys vs. Manchester City – Champions League – Oct 25, 2023

Manchester City, the reigning Champions League titans, travel to the Wankdorf Stadium to face Young Boys on October 25, 2023, at 8 pm UK time. While City is on course with two wins in Group G, the Swiss champions are in search of their first victory, having drawn one and lost the other.

Analysis: Young Boys, after a 31-year hiatus, have risen as the dominant force in Swiss football, clinching five of the last six titles. Under Raphael Wicky, they soared to the title last season, making a commanding statement with a 16-point lead over second-placed Servette. Although they made it to the Champions League group stage for the third time in their history, their campaign began with a defeat to RB Leipzig and a draw against Red Star Belgrade. Their recent form has been a cause for concern, especially with the looming threat of Manchester City.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have been clinical, even if they haven’t been at their absolute best. Victories over Red Star and Leipzig have put them in a comfortable position. With their eyes set on an 11th successive journey to the UCL knockout stages, Pep Guardiola’s side will be keen to put on a show. Their recent 2-1 win against Brighton & Hove Albion showcases their resilience and form.

Team News: Young Boys are grappling with injuries. The ACL injury of Kastriot Imeri is a significant blow, and Darian Males might be sidelined due to a knock. There could be changes upfront, with Cedric Itten potentially replacing Jean-Pierre Nsame.

AD:

For City, with the Manchester derby on the horizon, Guardiola might consider rotating his squad. Players like John Stones and Bernardo Silva could be rested. However, with Kevin De Bruyne still nursing a hamstring injury, players like Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake might get a nod.

Prediction: Goal.mu predicts: Young Boys 0-3 Manchester City. Given City’s form and Young Boys’ recent struggles, the Premier League champions are expected to dominate.

Other betting market predictions:

  • Both Teams to Score: No
  • Over/Under 2.5: Over

Hot Stat: In their last 23 matches, Young Boys have only been behind at half-time in two games.
