Action resumes in the UEFA Champions League as Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade lock horns at the Wankdorf Stadion on Wednesday. Both sides find themselves separated by just three points at the wrong end of the table and will be looking to bow out of the competition on a positive note.
Young Boys were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game in the Swiss Super League as they played out a goalless draw with Grasshopper Zurich last Saturday.
With that result, Giorgio Contini’s men have gone unbeaten in eight of their last nine league matches — claiming four wins and four draws — a run that has seen them climb into ninth place in the table.
Young Boys now turn their focus to the Champions League, where they have endured a horror campaign so far, losing each of their seven matches while conceding 23 goals and scoring just three to sit rock-bottom in the standings.
Trending
Like Wednesday’s hosts, Red Star Belgrade were left empty-handed yet again in the Champions League as they fell to a 3-2 loss against PSV Eindhoven last time out.
Before that, Vladan Milojevic’s men were on an eight-game unbeaten run, picking up one draw and seven wins, including three consecutive victories in the Serbian top flight, where they hold a healthy 17-point lead at the top of the table.
Red Star Belgrade have managed just one win from their seven Champions League matches so far while losing six to sit 32nd in the standings with three points from a possible 21.
