Young Boys v Crvena Zvezda

Young Boys vs Red Star Belgrade Preview

While the likes of Manchester City and RB Leipzig slug it out for supremacy at the top of Group G, the bottom two clubs, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade find themselves in what looks like being a straight shoot-out to claim the second prize of progressing through to the knockout rounds of the Europa League as both teams sit on just a single point apiece ahead of this clash at the Stadion Wankdorf.

Young Boys were handed a heavy 3-1 loss away from home at Zurich in the Swiss Super League on the weekend which meant Young Boys were unable to build upon a previous 6-1 thrashing of Luzern in the domestic top flight.

However, overall results have been a mixed bag where Young Boys have been concerned as the Swiss outfit have managed to collect just three wins out of their last eight matches, only one of which was achieved on home soil which was the aforementioned victory over Luzern.

The goals market seems to beckon again though as six of Young Boys' last 10 games overall have resulted in both teams scoring, while no fewer than nine of their last 10 Champions League ties at home have also resulted with both teams scoring as well.

Red Star Belgrade will be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to Switzerland to take on Young Boys as the Serbian club have posted recent back-to-back wins away from home at Zeleznicar and Vojvodina in the Serbian top flight.

The visitors have also been handed just two defeats out of their last 12 matches in all competitions which also include Bachar Bakhar's side picking up eight wins in the process, so their tails will be up as they look to get the better of their hosts, Young Boys, in this two-horse race for a possible third place finish.

That said, results away from home at Champions League level have left a lot to be desired as Red Star Belgrade have managed to capture just two victories out of their previous 12 outings on the road while also being dealt no fewer than nine defeats within this poor period of results on their travels.

Red Star have scored in seven of their last 10 away ties on the European front and this suggests the goals market may be the most prudent option in what looks like being a very tight and closely fought encounter at the Stadion Wankdorf on Tuesday night.

Young Boys v Red Star Belgrade Verdict

The goals market certainly looks to have the best chance of coming home in this clash as four out of the previous five meetings between Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade have seen both teams score while four of these five games have also resulted in draws as well.
