Young Boys and RB Leipzig get underway in Group G of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League when they go head-to-head Tuesday.
Both sides head into the midweek clash on a run of three back-to-back wins and we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Wankdorf Stadium.
Young Boys made it three wins on the bounce on Friday when they picked up a 1-0 victory over Xamax in the round of 32 of the Swiss Cup.
With that result, Raphael Wicky’s men have now gone unbeaten in their last 18 matches across all competitions, a run which has seen them reach the group stages of the Champions League.
Young Boys head into Tuesday’s clash unbeaten at home since the turn of the year and will be looking to continue in the same vein.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig maintained their fine run of results as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Augsburg on Saturday.
Marco Rose’s men have now won three consecutive matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding one since their 3-2 loss against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga opener on August 19.
RB Leipzig will look to carry on this fine form in the Champions League as they set out to surpass last season’s round-of-16 finish.
