Barcelona vs Young Boys Prediction: the future home team will win a convincing victory

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match which will take place on October 1. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barcelona

For the first time in the 2024/25 season, Barcelona lost in the Champions League, namely in the first round, to Monaco in a 1:2 away match. After that, the Catalans played three games in the Spanish La Liga, gaining six points in this period: victories over Villarreal and Getafe, a 2:4 defeat to Osasuna in the last round of the Primera. Defeat from Pamplona was the first failure of the team in the Spanish championship of the current season. The Catalans have not lost the leadership, but risk approaching Madrid by one point, at the time of writing the prediction, they have not yet played their match in the championship. In any case, after the defeat in Monte Carlo, the Catalans in the upcoming game need only a victory in the second round of the Champions League, because the 15 teams already have three points.

Young Boys

Young Boys started the first leg of the Champions League with a crushing 0:3 defeat to English side Aston Villa. It is doubly disappointing that this defeat was a home defeat, and such a result reduces the Swiss side's chances of qualifying for the top eight by a large percentage. After the loss to Villans, the Swiss played two matches in the national championship, a 4:1 away win over Winterthur and a 0:1 home defeat to Grasshopper.

Expert Betting Tips

The Catalans have had erratic results, with a thumping win over Girona in the derby and away, but a defeat to Monaco in the first round of the Champions League. Then, two consecutive wins in La Liga followed by a setback in Pamplona via a (-1.5) handicap. However, the Catalans' lead in La Liga will not be lost just yet, but the defeat in Pamplona is a clear disadvantage, which overlaps with the failure at Monaco in the Champions League. In Barcelona in the 2024/25 season, the Catalans have a 100 per cent record, and we should take our cue from that, the future hosts will do everything possible to not just win the upcoming game, but to give themselves a margin of safety in terms of goal difference for the future, despite some recent instability.
