Stadium: Stade de Suisse (Bern)
It may not be the most high-profile game, but it’s certainly worthy of your attention. Perhaps this match will be even more interesting than a conventional 1-1 draw from the top clubs. Let’s get an idea of the teams’ form and what’s best to bet on. We’ve got a few betting options to choose from!
Young Boys
We know Young Boys as a relentless team that will always fight to the end. In the first round of the Champions League, the Swiss side had a crazy home game against Manchester United, scoring a winner in the final seconds (2-1). In the second, however, Young Boys travelled to Bergamo, where they failed to put up a fight against Atalanta - a 0-1 defeat and clear domination by the Italian club. Thus, after two rounds, the modest Young Boys are second in Group F with three points.
Villarreal
Villarreal approached this UEFA Champions League campaign as a Europa League winner. They performed well in the top flight in the first round, drawing at home to Atalanta, although they could have won (2-2). In that encounter, the Spanish club were both runners-up and leaders, but less than ten minutes were held back. In the second round, Villarreal welcomed Manchester United to Old Trafford. Despite the quality of their opponents, Unai Emery’s men played levelly, conceding the second goal in the final seconds. With one point, Villarreal are last in Group F.
Expert Betting Tips
As we have already said, this meeting between relatively modest opponents will likely be more interesting than the concurrent matches involving the giants. Young Boys will not close on home soil, and their class will not allow them to do so, while Villarreal urgently needs to improve their table position as they have no other option. We expect an ordinary top-flight encounter, and we don’t rule out a real abundance of goals.
