Young Boys vs Atalanta

, KO: 20:00 Nov 26, 2024, Wankdorf Stadium
Atalanta

Atalanta will look to record back-to-back wins in the Champions League for the first time this season when they travel to Young Boys on Tuesday night.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have made a solid if unspectacular start to the new-look league phase, picking up eight points from their first four games, avoiding defeat thus far in the process.

La Dea moved up to ninth position in the table thanks to a 2-0 win away at Stuttgart on matchday four, much to the delight of our man Lee.

Atalanta are also flying high in Serie A at the moment, with Saturday night’s 3-1 success at Parma extending their winning streak to seven matches.

As for Young Boys, they have lost each of their opening four matches in this season’s Champions League and appear to be heading for an early exit. 

Joel Magnin’s men are also having a miserable time of it on the domestic front, with Saturday’s 1-1 draw away at Luzern leaving them languishing in seventh spot in the Swiss Super League.

How the bookies view it: Young Boys big outsiders 

Young Boys – who are one of five teams yet to pick up a point in this season’s Champions League-  are big outsiders at 13/2 (Betano), while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 4/1 (Betano).

Atalanta are firm 4/11 favourites on Betano to bank all three points in Bern on Tuesday night.

Head to head: Advantage Atalanta

The two teams crossed paths for the first time ever during the now-defunct group stage of the competition back in 2021/22. Atalanta ran out 1-0 winners in Bergamo, while the duo played out a barnstorming 3-3 draw in Bern.

Players to watch: Lookman worth a look?

Ademola Lookman netted his ninth goal of the season against Parma on Saturday night. The Nigerian has also notched in each of Atalanta's two Champions League games away from home this season, making a repeat here an appealing option at 11/8 on Bet 365.

I successfully backed Sandro Lauper to be shown a card during Young Boys’ 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa on matchday one. A repeat here could be worth consideration once player card markets have been priced up by the bookmakers.

Predicted line-ups

Young Boys again look set to be without injured quartet Banhie Zoukrou, Mats Seiler, Patric Pfeiffer and Saidy Janko.  

Berat Djimsiti, Davide Zappacosta and Sead Kolasinac all missed Atalanta's 3-1 win at Parma on Saturday and the defensive trio are all expected to sit this one out in the Swiss capital.

Young Boys: Van Ballmoos; Blum, Lauper, Camara, Hadjam; Lakomy, Ugrinic, Imeri; Virginius, Ganvoula, Monteiro

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; De Roon, Hien, Kossounou; Bellanova, Ederson, Pasalic, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Lookman; Retegui

Anything else catch the eye?

With Atalanta too short to support a single, instead look to them to come out on top in a game that features under five match goals at 4/5 (Bet 365).

This combination would have clicked in each of La Dea's last four Serie A matches, not to mention the same formula would have also proven profitable in each of their two triumphs in this season’s Champions League to date.

It’s also worth noting that three of Young Boys' four Champions League losses this season have produced three match goals or fewer.

This match between Young Boys and Atalanta will be played on Nov 26, 2024 and kick off at 20:00. Check below for our tipsters best Young Boys vs Atalanta prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
