BSC Young Boys hoping to end six-game winless away run in UCL.
In a historic UEFA Champions League Group G encounter at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, FK Crvena Zvezda celebrate their 100th European appearance as they face off against BSC Young Boys for the first time, with both teams eager to claim a crucial win following opening losses.
Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda secured a 1-0 victory against FK Radnički Niš on Saturday, with Mirko Ivanić scoring the only goal of the game in the 13th minute. This marked one of their two wins in the last five matches across all competitions, coming into their midweek clash with Young Boys.
Currently in 3rd place in the domestic Super Liga, the Serbian champions are returning to UEFA Champions League action following a 3-1 loss to holders Manchester City. Wednesday’s Group G encounter with BSC Young Boys for UCL Match Day 2 will be the first-ever meeting between these two sides.
The home side boasts an unbeaten record in four matches against visiting teams, with one win and three draws. However, Crvena Zvezda has a mixed record against Swiss clubs, winning just five out of 15 encounters, though four of these victories were secured at home.
Manager Barak Bakhar will aim for a victory on Wednesday to celebrate Zvezda's 100th European appearance—the first Serbian club and the 33rd overall to achieve this milestone. He is likely to field a 3-5-2 formation, with Jean-Philippe Krasso and Cherif Ndiaye leading the attack.
Young Boys
BSC Young Boys returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Grasshopper Club Zürich, continuing their pattern of alternating results over their last five games across all competitions [WLWLW]. The crucial goal from Cedric Itten in the 17th minute helped Young Boys hold onto 2nd place in the Swiss Super League.
Following a 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig on UEFA Champions League Match Day 1, Young Boys find themselves at the bottom of Group G, level on goal difference with Crvena Zvezda. The Swiss side has never beaten Serbian opponents in six previous encounters [0W, 4D, 2L] and is still seeking its first away win in the UEFA Champions League after six attempts.
Head coach Raphaël Wicky emphasized the need to play with courage while reducing lapses in concentration following their defeat to Leipzig. He'll be looking for that bravery at the Rajko Mitic Stadium on Wednesday. Young Boys are anticipated to line up in a 4—3—1—2 formation, with Cedric Itten and Meschack Elia leading the attack against Crvena Zvezda.
The team will be without Kastriot Imeri due to a knee injury, and Loris Benito is also ruled out for this midweek fixture.
