Champions League Football News – Young Boys vs Manchester United
- Young Boys have collected eight points from five games by making a strong start to the Swiss Super League season. And a 4-0 win over league leaders FC Zuerich on Saturday is surely a morale booster for Manchester United’s visit.
- However, Manchester United also scored four goals over the weekend, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Newcastle United.
- after all, in the group stages of the 2018/19 Champions League campaign, the Premier League side successfully faced Young Boys. United won both games while conceding zero goals back then.
- So, given the disparity in talent between the two teams, United should secure all three away points on Tuesday night.
Manchester United, who gave Newcastle too much space on the counter-attack on Saturday, do have a real threat from Young Boys.
As such, the home side is sure to score at least once on Tuesday.
But we believe the Red Devils will be too strong on the other end. So, we predict a 3-1 away win for Manchester United in this Group F fixture.
