Read our predictions for the Young Boys v Manchester United fixture.
Young Boys News and Form
Young Boys have a big season ahead of them as this is their first action in the main draw of the UEFA Champions League. They came through the qualification play-off against Dinamo Zagreb to create this piece of history. Last season they had lost at that last qualifying stage and went down to the Europa League group stage when they failed to make it out of the group. Their overall record in the Champions League, which up to this point has been in qualification, is W11 D7 L15. This is a tough opening game for them against one of the game’s biggest names.
Young Boys have posted six wins from six games played in the domestic league this season, but they don’t get to face anyone of its calibre there. For our Young Boys v Manchester United predictions we are looking at both teams not to score is at 19/20 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.). Manchester United’s defence hasn’t looked the sharpest this season to be fair, but we can see the Young Boys struggling to get at them. Young Boys have a W1 D1 L4 record from previous matches against English sides.
Manchester United News and Form
Things seem to be settling down at Manchester United after they made it back to back wins with a win over Watford on the weekend. That was a tricky test which they came through then at Vicarage Road. So Jose Mourinho looks a bit more secure in his job at the moment than it did at the end of August after back to back losses against Brighton and Spurs. Manchester United to win to nil appeals at 2/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.).
Romelu Lukaku is in good scoring form for Manchester United so he has been delivering well early into the season. Lukaku is a strong first goalscorer favorite at 15/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.) for the match. Manchester United haven’t been producing great attacking stuff all season but they have come up with at least two goals in all but one of their games regardless. It is just the points that are important for the Red Devils in this one, not the performance. Because of that and them not needing to exert themselves, a Manchester United 1-0 correct score option is at 13/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.).
