FC Porto vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
In the illustrious Estadio do Dragao, the Europa League match between FC Porto and Young Boys is scheduled for Thursday evening. The home club is one of the outsiders for winning the Europa League this season, and so the tournament will want to start with a win.
FC Porto:
FC Porto had of course imagined its European season very differently. The Portuguese had set their sights on participating in the Champions League, but in the preliminary rounds, despite a 0-1 victory, they were surprised by the Russian Krasnodar, by losing 2-3 in the return in their own Estadio do Dragao. A bitter pill, although the blue and white have recovered well with four victories in a row in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Trainer Sergio Conceicao can therefore be satisfied, because his team is currently in top form. The attack is in top form with twelve goals in the last four matches, while goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin managed to keep his goal clean in three of his last four appearances. In addition, the infirmary is practically empty, as midfielder Sergio Oliveira is the only player who will have to cancel on Thursday evening.
Young Boys:
Participation in the Europa League also feels like a disappointment to Young Boys. In the play-offs of the Champions League, the Swiss national champion remained up to twice against the Serbian Crvena Zvezda (2-2 at home and 1-1 out), but on the basis of away goals still seized it next to a ticket for the European champion ball. A huge damper for coach Gerardo Seoane’s team.
However, Young Boys does not have much time to get down to business, because we can call Group G of the Europa League the Group of Death with Feyenoord, Rangers and Porto. With only two wins from the last five games, the Swiss are a bit out of shape, although last weekend they won no less than 2-11 against five-division team Freienbach in the Swiss cup tournament. FC Porto will mainly have to keep an eye on Cameroonians Moumi Ngamaleu and Jean-Pierre Nsame, as they were already nine times accurate in just six rounds.
