On Wednesday night, Swiss outfit Young Boys host Manchester United in the sides opening Champions League game of the season.

Young Boys have a poor recent record in the Champions League heading into this clash, even after beating Dinamo Zagreb in the play-off to make the group stages. In fact, the Swiss side has won just three of their last 14 matches in Europe’s elite competition.

The home side’s latest games in the Champions league have been tight and low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five outings in Europe’s elite competition.

Young Boys do not have a great home record in Europe’s elite competition, as the home side has won just two of their last six Champions League games on home soil, suffering three defeats in the process.

The Swiss side’s recent home games in this competition have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.

Just like their opponents, Manchester United have an inconsistent Champions League record of late. However, the Red Devils have won five of their last eight games in Europe’s elite competition.

However, Jose Mourinho’s side failed to beat Sevilla in either of the two legs last season in the competition, which means that United have won just one of their last four Champions league outings.

United’s recent games in this competition have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six matches.

The Red Devils have a poor recent away record in Europe’s elite competition, winning just three of their last ten games on their travels. Their last three away games in the Champions league have produced under 2.5 goals.

Forebet predicts that United will make a positive start to their Champions League campaign by recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
