Command Analysis

Young Boys

Current form
Young Boys were not initially considered in the bookmakers' line as a contender for a place in the top 25 of the overall stage of the Champions League. However, it was hardly possible to expect such an outright failure from the Swiss. In six rounds, they were unable to score a single point, scored only one goal, and conceded as many as 23 goals. As a result, the team is in last place. According to additional indicators, it is behind another similar loser, Slovan from Bratislava.
In many ways, the reasons for Young Boys' failures are related to problems in the squad. In addition to the overcrowded infirmary, it should be noted that central defender Lustenberger has ended his career, and it was not possible to find a full replacement for him. Plus, midfielder Filip Ugrinich will not play today due to an accumulation of yellow cards. In the last round, Giorgio Contini charges played well away against Celtic - a 0:1 defeat. However, judging by the game, the opponent should have scored much more - there were three disallowed goals, a missed penalty. You could say that the Swiss were simply lucky.
The situation in the national championship is not much better than in the Champions League. After 20 rounds, Young Boys is only in 12th place, with 25 points. In the last two rounds, goalless draws were recorded with Winterthur and Grasshopper.

Ugrinich will serve a disqualification due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Janko, Fassnacht, A. Conte, Sailer, Bajrami will not play due to injuries.

FK Crvena Zvezda

Current form
Unlike their upcoming opponent, Crvena Zvezda situation in the Champions League is slightly better, but it is unlikely that the players and fans can rejoice at the fact that they managed to earn three points in six rounds. However, their only victory was very bright and unexpected - they managed to crush Stuttgart with a score of 5:1 on their home field. The Serbs are in 32nd place in the tournament table and have no chance of continuing the fight.
Despite numerous failures, it is worth noting the solid attack potential of Vladan Milojevic team, as evidenced by 12 goals scored. In the last round, a 2:3 home defeat to PSV was recorded.

In the Serbian Super League, the team has become accustomed to having no equal. After 20 rounds, Zvezda leads with a gap of 17 points over Partizan. Only a miracle can prevent them from becoming champions once again.
