Young Boys vs Inter Prediction & Betting Tips (23 October)

As expected, Young Boys showed serious shortcomings during the first two days of this Champions League. Unable to score, they were seriously beaten by Aston Villa 0-3 and on the pitch of Barcelona 5-0 . Double reigning Swiss champion, the team based in Berne is, however, having a nightmarish start to the championship this season. Young Boys are quite simply last in the standings with only 6 points gleaned from 9 matches. They achieved their only success at poorly ranked Winterthur on matchday 7 1-4 before losing to Grasshoppers 0-1 and Basel just before the international break 1-0. Coach Patrick Rahmen was dismissed from his duties during the break. The Swiss club hosted leader Lucerne last weekend. Unhappy finalist in the Champions League in 2023, Inter hopes to play the leading roles again this season.

The Lombard team launched this new European campaign perfectly by taking a very good point in the lair of Manchester City 0-0 before logically outclassing Red Star Belgrade during the 2nd day 4-0. During the previous year, the Nerazzurri overcame the competition to win the Scudetto. This year, they now occupy 2nd place in Serie A, 2 points behind leader Naples. Inter have only lost to rivals AC Milan, 1-2 so far. After this hitch, Simone Inzaghi's men beat, by the smallest of margins, Udinese 2-3 and Torino just before the international break 3-2 . Last weekend, they traveled to the upcoming Roma field.

For Young Boys, the important defender absent since the start of the season Janko is still not on his feet this week. Also taking their place in the infirmary is replacement Benito (ex-Bordeaux) as well as summer recruits Pfeiffer (defender) and Conte (forward, ex-Bastia). To occupy the forefront of the attack, Itten (1 goal in the league) and Ganvoula (4 goals in the league) are in competition. The promising French defender trained at Troyes Zoukrou is available. This is also the case of winger Monteiro (3 goals and 1 assist in the league) who was summoned to the Nati during the break, as was attacking midfielder Ugrinic (1 goal in the league). Inter remains deprived of the midfielder. Barella, insufficiently recovered from his injury.

In addition, replacement winger Buchanan is also on the flank. However, no other absences are to be deplored this week. During the last day of the Champions League, Simone Inzaghi spared certain executives. Attackers Marcus Thuram (7 goals in SA) and Lautaro Martinez (2 goals in SA) could start this time. Turkish midfielder Calhanoglu plays a major role for the Nerazzurri as do Italian internationals Bastoni and Dimarco. Also called up with the Nazionale during the break, midfielder Frattesi could replace the injured Barella.
