📏 Form Guide

BSC Young Boys

DWDWWW 📈

BSC Young Boys are hoping to win again following a 0-1 Swiss Cup victory against Neuchatel Xamax FC.

The only player to score from BSC Young Boys was Silvère Ganvoula (90').

A common theme in recent BSC Young Boys games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous 6 matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one.

RB Leipzig

WWLWWW 📈

RB Leipzig will go into the match following on from a 3-0 Bundesliga 1 win against Augsburg in their previous fixture.

In that match, RB Leipzig had 54% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For RB Leipzig, the goalscorers were Xavi Simons (6'), Loïs Openda (11') and David Raum (27'). At the other end, Augsburg had 16 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target.

A series of dependable displays from the RB Leipzig defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 clashes in total. Over that same time, their own attack force has managed to score 18. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.

📰 Team News: BSC Young Boys

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the BSC Young Boys boss Raphaël Wicky to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Filip Ugrinic (Adductor problems) misses out.

We are thinking that BSC Young Boys will probably opt for a 4-3-1-2 formation this time, utilising Anthony Racioppi, Saidy Janko, Mohamed Aly Camara, Loris Benito, Noah Persson, Darian Males, Sandro Lauper, Joel Monteiro, Lukasz Lakomy, Cedric Itten and Meschack Elia.

ℹ️ Team News: RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Dani Olmo (Knee Injury), Péter Gulácsi (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Amadou Haidara (Muscle Injury), Willi Orbán (Torn knee ligament) and El Chadaille Bitshiabu (Medial Collateral Ligament avulsion) can’t be considered.

We believe Leipzig will likely elect for a 4-2-2-2 system with a starting lineup of Janis Blaswich, Benjamin Henrichs, Mohamed Simakan, Castello Lukeba, Christopher Lenz, Xaver Schlager, Kevin Kampl, Xavi Simons, Emil Forsberg, Yussuf Poulsen and Ikoma Lois Openda.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that RB Leipzig will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

In contrast, BSC Young Boys could well struggle to score but we do fancy them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We can therefore see a comfortable 1-3 winning margin for RB Leipzig come full-time.
