Young Boys welcome Crvena Zvezda to Stadion Wankdorf for a UEFA Champions League fixture with both teams still looking for their first win in Group G. There is little to separate both sides at the moment and they could be set to cancel each other out.
It has been a difficult Champions League campaign for Young Boys, who have been outclassed by the top two teams in Group G. They are winless in the competition and their only hope of remaining in Europe is by securing a Europa League place.
Young Boys suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in their previous Champions League fixture. They were also beaten in the Swiss Super League on Saturday, falling 3-1 to Zurich with Meschack Elia’s first half effort proving a mere consolation.
Despite their struggles, Young Boys will head into Tuesday’s clash feeling confident having gone unbeaten in seven of their last nine home matches. Raphael Wicky’s men have picked up six wins in that run, including a 6-1 victory over Luzern in their last fixture in front of their fans.
Crvena Zvezda are in a similar situation with Young Boys as they are also without a win in Group G. They were beaten 2-1 at home by RB Leipzig in their previous fixture with their goal coming via an own-goal from Benjamin Henrichs.
Beyond their struggles in the Champions League, Crvena Zvezda have shown some overall good form lately, suffering just two defeats in their last 12 matches across all competitions. They have picked up eight wins in that run, including a 2-1 victory over Vojvodina in a Serbian Super Liga fixture last weekend.
The win at Vojvodina is an extension of a superb away record for Crvena Zvezda, who have impressed on their recent travels. Barak Bakhar’s men have won five of their last six away matches across all competitions, although they are without a clean sheet in the last four in that run.
