Schaffhausen vs Young Boys Prediction

Schaffhausen will be facing the Swiss champions for the first time in six years. Ciricao Sforza's side have not had the best of campaigns in the Challenge League and are just one spot above the relegation zone.

Young Boys have had a poor campaign this season, particularly on the continent. They remain at the foot of the UEFA Champions League table but are unbeaten in their last five league games (three wins).

We are backing the visitors to advance to the quarterfinal with a multi-goal victory.

Prediction: Schaffhausen 1-3 Young Boys
