After a perfect start to their Champions League campaign, Manchester City will be looking to extend their unbeaten lead against a relatively easy group stage team selection. With Crvena Zvezda and RB Leipzig both beaten 3-1 by City, tonight’s game against Young Boys should, in theory, be another straight forwards victory for as they look to capitalise on their recent win over Brighton, after back-to-back Premier League losses against Arsenal and Wolves before then.
Unlikely to surprise most, BetVictor, at the time of writing has the Young Boys vs Manchester City odds stacked heavily in City’s direction, with the Manchester City odds to win at a measly 2/13*, paying just £11.54 on a £10 bet, while the Young Boys odds to win are at 12/1*, meaning the same £10 bet would payout £130. This is further compounded, by the fact that the top goalscorer odds are dominated by 7 Manchester City players and only then followed by a Young Boys scorer, in the form of forward Jean Pierre Nsame. So is it really likely to be as one-sided as the bookies suggest, or can Young Boys produce something spectacular and upset the current title holders.
Sitting second in the Swiss Super League, behind rivals FC Zurich, Young Boys recent draw against Zurich on Saturday was preceded by a win against Basel at the start of October. Their Champions League campaign has gotten off to a lowly start, with a loss to Leipzig and a draw against Crvena Zvesda, leaving them joint last in the group tables so far. Even with Nsame’s 5 goals this season, Haaland’s 9 and Álvarez’s 7 goals supersede that and coupled with their solid Champions League performances this season so far, look unsettling for Young Boys when they meet tonight. Whatever happens when the teams meet tonight at 8pm, it looks like the BSC Young Boys will have to dig deep to take on the Blues and hope that they can hold off the incredible firepower that City are sure to bring to the table.
BetVictor Prediction: With two very different teams going head-to-head tonight, it seems that City are surefire favourites to win tonight when they head to the Wankdorf stadium in Bern, we’re expecting by a comfortable number too. Check out our football odds for more upcoming matches.
