Manchester City vs Young Boys Prediction 07.11.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: 08.11.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Etihad Stadium (Manchester)

Manchester City has justified role of the absolute favorite in theChampions League Group G.

After 3 games played, they have a maximum score of 9 points, so in the remaining games, Pep Guardiola can calculate with the roster and give a chance to some players who have not had a lot of minutes so far. Since their last game in the CL, they have played two matches in the domestic championship. After a routine victory over city rival Manchester Utd 3:0, on Saturday they knocked down Bournemouth's net to the brim. This time, the contribution of Erling Haaland was not there, but the last reinforcement Jeremy Doku excelled, scoring one goal and winning as many as four assists, equaling the Premier League record.

On the other hand, it is clear that Young Boys would be satisfied with winning the third place in the group, with which would continue the competition in the Europa League. For them, the direct match against Crvena Zvezda will be crucial, while any points against the other two teams will be just an additional bonus. Young Boys made a prelude for this match by winning the domestic championship. This time they celebrated on the road against Winterthur with a big 4:1, which kept them in the leading position in front of Zurich.

Manchester City vs Young Boys: OVER 3.5 GOALS

In the current part of the season, Manchester City is demonstrating great strength and they are probably in better shape than in the same part of the last season. What is very important for them is that they do not depend on Haaland's goals and that they can beat their rivals in several ways. Erling Haaland was replaced at halftime of the match against Bournemouth due to an injury problem and this match is another opportunity for other players to impose themselves on Guardiola with their goals. Young Boys have their own attacking style of play, which deserves every respect, but in this match, they will not have a good time with that style. We expect a festival of goals at the Etihad.
