Red Star vs. Young Boys Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Red Star vs. Young Boys

Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys are both eager to secure their inaugural victory in Group G of the Champions League as they clash at the Rajko Mitic Stadium on Wednesday night.

In their respective opening group matches two weeks ago, Red Star Belgrade suffered a 3-1 defeat away against reigning champions Manchester City, while Young Boys also fell by the same scoreline against RB Leipzig.

Red Star, making their return to the Champions League group stage after a four-year absence, extracted numerous positives from their clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, despite ultimately succumbing to defeat.

Barak Bakhar’s side succeeded in frustrating the Citizens during the first half and even took a surprising lead just before halftime when Osman Bukari expertly evaded the offside trap to calmly slot the ball past Ederson. Nevertheless, second-half goals from Julian Alvarez (2) and Rodri enabled the defending champions, who unleashed 37 shots and commanded 76% possession, to mount a comeback and secure victory.

What to remember – Red Star vs. Young Boys

Red Star, with a track record of winning one of their three home games in each of their last two Champions League group campaigns, see Wednesday’s match as their prime chance to earn points in Group G.

Young Boys share a similar outlook, and given the tight balance between these two teams, a closely contested match in Serbia could likely result in a score draw.
