Barcelona vs Young Boys prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - Oсtober 1, 2024
As part of the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, a match between Barcelona and the Swiss team Young Boys will take place. The game will be held on Tuesday, October 1st, with a kickoff scheduled for 21:00 Central European Time. The following match prediction has been prepared by Dailysports experts.
Barcelona
Barcelona has started the new season brilliantly. In La Liga, Hansi Flick's side suffered their first setback, losing to Osasuna over the weekend. This defeat allowed Real Madrid to narrow the gap.
The first Champions League match was not a success for Barça. They spent most of the game against Monaco with a man down and eventually lost. However, there is still plenty of time and matches left to secure their place in the Round of 16.
Young Boys
Young Boys qualified for the main stage of Europe's premier tournament by defeating Galatasaray twice, but in the first round match, the Swiss team stood no chance. Aston Villa thrashed Ramen’s side 3-0.
After a disastrous start to the domestic season, Young Boys have yet to recover. With just one win in eight matches and sitting in second-to-last place, it’s far from what the club's supporters expect.
Match Facts
- Barcelona has lost two of their last four matches.
- Young Boys have scored in only one of their last three games.
- Barcelona averages 3.3 goals per game at home, while Young Boys average 3 goals per game when playing away.
Predicted Lineups
- Barcelona: Peña, Koundé, Kubarsí, Martínez, Balde, Casado, García, Pedri, Raphinha, Yamal, Lewandowski.
- Young Boys: Von Ballmoos, Atekame, Camara, Benito, Hadjam, Niasse, Ugrinic, Males, Elia, Monteiro, Ganvoula.
H2H
The teams have never faced each other before.
Prediction
It shouldn’t be difficult for the Catalans to overcome the modest opposition from Switzerland on their home ground. I expect Barcelona to confidently take all three points, and my bet will be on a home win and a total of fewer than 5.5 goals.
