Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade return to action in the UEFA Champions League when they go head-to-head at the Wankdorf Stadion on Tuesday.
Both sides are currently tied on one point in Group G with just two games to go and will look to pick up a huge result in their quest for a place in the Europa League.
Young Boys failed to pick up where they dropped off before the international break as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against FC Zurich in the Swiss Super League on Saturday.
Prior to that, Raphael Wicky’s side fell to a 3-0 loss against Manchester City in the Champions League on November 7, four days before claiming an emphatic 6-1 victory over Luzern on home turf. Young Boys now turn their sights to the Champions League, where they are yet to pick up a win, having claimed one draw and lost three of their four matches so far.
Trending
Elsewhere, Red Star Belgrade continued their surge to the top of the Serbian top-flight table on Saturday when they picked up a 2-1 win over Vojvodina. Barak Bakhar’s men have now won seven of their last eight league matches, with a 1-1 draw against Bačka Topola on November 1 being the exception.
However, Red Star Belgrade are also yet to taste victory in the Champions League this season and sit level on one point with Tuesday’s hosts in Group G.
