On Thursday, starting with 17:55, the Young Boys – AS Roma match will be played, within the debut stage of the Europa League groups.
In a group that also includes TSKA Sofia and CFR Cluj, AS Roma is considered the main favorite in terms of first place qualification. Despite a modest start to the season, Paulo Fonseca’s students come after the best match of the season: 5-2 in the championship against Benevento! Thus, certainly, the moral impetus given by the victory “en fanfare” recorded at home could weigh decisively in the dispute over “Wankdorf” in Bern. Also, we must emphasize the fact that from the Romanian team the only basic player that will be missing is Smalling, injured.
In other news, the Swiss team has serious concerns against the dispute with AS Roma. The hosts will not be able to bet on the injured Pereira, Aebischer, Lauper, Gaudino, Petignat and Spielmann. In addition, Camara and Garcia are still in isolation after being tested positive for the Covid-19 virus about 2 weeks ago! However, even without these players, there are all the prerequisites for Young Boys to keep their style of play against the Italians. Almost every time in this competitive season they played open football, in which the goal opportunities made their presence felt. We are of the opinion that the duel in question will not make a discount from this fact and we will attend a recital of the goals.
Young Boys (4-3-3): David von Ballmoos; Silvan Hefti, Fabian Lustenberger, Cedric Zesiger, Jordan Lefort; Christian Fassnacht, Fabian Rieder, Vincent Sierro, Moumi Ngamaleu; Meschak Elia, Jean-Pierre Nsame.
AS Roma (4-2-3-1): Pau Lopez; Davide Santon, Gianluca Mancini, Roger Ibanez, Leonardo Spinazzola; Bryan Cristante, Jordan Veretout; Pedro Rodriguez, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Edin Dzeko.
Young Boys Bern, without failure in the last 7 official matches;
AS Roma, 8 goals scored in the previous 3 games;
The Romanians, without a draw away from February.
PREDICTION: AS Roma to win @ 1,95
