Young Boys vs RB Leipzig prediction 18.09.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 19th September 2023
• Kickoff: 17:45 UTC +1 / 18:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadion Wankdorf (Bern)

Last season, Young Boys won the 16th title in their history, so they got another opportunity to play in the Champions League. Actually, Young Boys had to pass one qualifying round before that, but the Swiss champs didn't have too many problems with Maccabi Haifa. With those games, Young Boys now have nine matches without losing in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Xamax in the cup. Young Boys expected a much easier win, but eventually, they needed Silvere Ganvoula's goal in the second half's stoppage time to secure another victory. That wasn't the best performance ahead of the start of the Champions League, but fans hope that players can step up versus RB Leipzig. 

RB Leipzig didn't play that many matches like Young Boys in the new season, but their results are equally impressive. At the start of the season, RB Leipzig started with an impressive 3-0 against Bayern Munich in the Super Cup. After that, Marko Rose's team won three of four Bundesliga rounds. In the previous match, they won 3-0 at home versus Augsburg. Another easy win will give RB Leipzig more than enough for Tuesday night's Champions League clash against Young Boys.

Young Boys vs RB Leipzig pick: RB Leipzig to win and cover AH -1 spread

Young Boys started well in the 2023/24 season, but they have problems with scoring goals in the last couple of matches. Young Boys scored only two goals in the last two matches. On the other hand, RB Leipzig scored 11 goals in the previous three games. 

RB Leipzig are a much better side, so I expect them to win and cover AH -1 spread in the game against Young Boys.
