Thursday evening, from 17:55 pm, Young Boys Bern receives the visit of Glasgow Rangers, in the second stage of the UEFA Europa League groups. Guests come to Stade de Suisse without Aribo, Jones and Kent, while the yellow-blacks are uncertain about Camara, Lauper, Spielmann and Sulejmani.
In Group G, Rangers dream of qualifying in the European spring, after starting with a victory on their own ground, scoring 1-0 with Feyenoord. It was a solid performance of Steven Gerrard’s students, who are not as impressive on foreign soil. The Young Boys gave way to FC Porto (1-2), although they were close to reaching the UEFA Champions League groups, and the Swiss European season is no longer as promising in September.
Led by attacking experienced golfer Guillaume Hoarau, the Young Boys are hoping that the synthetic terrain will work in their favor, especially as the Scots are not used to such playing conditions. If the score is opened quickly, chances are high that we will attend an offensive festival on Thursday night, especially as statistics recommend betting on goals.
Young Boys comes after the victories with Sion (3-2) and modest Freinbach (11-2, in the Cup), but also after draws with Basel (1-1) and Thun (1-1), in the championship. Rangers, in contrast, have 5 consecutive successes in all competitions, including 3-1 scores with Livingston, 4-0 with St. Johnstone and 5-0 with Aberdeen. The white-blue ones seem to return to the glory of the past and they want to confirm on a European level as well, so we have reason to believe that we will attend a spectacular game in Switzerland.
PREDICTION: Young Boys to win @ 1,85
