Young Boys vs RB Leipzig Match Analysis & Prediction
19/09/2023 7:45 pm
The Champions League group stage begins on Tuesday, with Young Boys hosting RB Leipzig at Stadion Wankdorf in the Group G tie.
The Swiss champions beat Maccabi Haifa 3-0 on aggregate in the playoff round, while the visitors made it into this year’s competition through a third-placed finish in last season’s Bundesliga.
Their form heading into Tuesday’s encounter is promising, with Young Boys unbeaten across all competitions this season, winning six of their nine matches.
The recent run of five successive clean sheets across all competitions indicates defensive solidity, with Friday’s 1-0 cup victory over Xamax the latest in their sequence of shut-outs.
As for Leipzig, they seek to begin their European campaign positively after an acceptable draw for the Bundesliga outfit.
The Red Bulls have responded amazingly to an opening-day 3-2 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen to claim three successive victories, scoring 11 times and conceding once.
Summer arrivals Xavi Simons and Lois Openda have scored three times each after four league matches, with the former setting up four goals for teammates.
Leipzig may have been blown to smitherness by Manchester City last season – and they have to contend with Pep Guardiola’s side in Group G – but the broarder context of their new arrivals settling must please Marco Rose.
