Red Star-Young Boys is a match for the second day of the Champions League group stage and will be played on Wednesday at 21:00: lineups, predictions.
Red Star and Young Boys know very well that, the goal must be to reach the qualification for the Europa League and then finish third in this classification. If you have Manchester City and Leipzig in the group, it is normal to think of something else and be realistic. That’s why Wednesday night’s match might not be decisive, we’re still in the second day, but it could give the first indications, the ones we all need to understand how this grouping could end up.
As predicted, both lost on their debut. Although Red Star in even the most sensational fashion ended the first half ahead of the reigning European champions in the only chance they created in the space of ninety minutes. Then, in the second half, City put it into gear and deservedly turned the game around. The Swiss, on the other hand, after drawing against Leipzig, capitulated in the second half. But throughout the match there was a clear feeling of superiority on the part of the Germans, who had some difficulties, above all due to a lack of concreteness up front. There was a clear sense that they would find the goal sooner or later. And so it was.
In such a match, therefore, the determining factor could be external. Playing in Belgrade, in a stadium that really makes many people’s wrists shake, certainly puts the home team at a slight advantage. Who could take home the entire stake.
Young Boys
The Prediction
Victory of the Red Star, boosted by the fiery home crowd that in such a balanced match as explained before could make the difference. A match which, given the unexceptional defences, could even yield three goals in total.
