Young Boys have been a dominant force in Switzerland, winning six out of the last seven league titles. But this year was an absolute disaster as they had one of the worst starts in the club's history. Due to such a bad start, they changed coach and started collecting some points in the domestic league. Right now, they are in ninth place (out of 12 spots) with 17 points in 15 rounds. In the Champions League, Young Boys are one of the five teams that still haven't won a point in four rounds. If they don't win all three points against Atalanta, they will have almost no chance of reaching the next stage of the competition.
Atalanta have become one of the best teams in Italy, and they are only getting better. Last year, the famous "La Dea" even won the Europa League after beating the German champs, Bayer Leverkusen. This season, they had a pretty poor start, but after that, they have been incredible. Right now, they are the league's leader in Serie A with 28 points in 13 rounds. In the CL, they are in 9th place with eight points in four rounds and are on the right path to secure the 1/8 Finals.
Young Boys vs Atalanta pick: Atlanta to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
Young Boys lost all four games in the Champions League while scoring only one goal - 0.25 per game. In recent games, they improved, as they only lost once in the last five games. However, we cannot say they were impressive in those games, and we do not believe they can secure a positive result against an in-form Atalanta.
Atalanta are in a fantastic form, winning nine out of ten games. The only game they failed to win was against Celtic (0:0) in a match where they had 2.38xG compared to Celtic's 0.26 xG. So, just with a little luck, we would speak about a ten-game winning streak. Also, in eight out of nine wins, they covered the -1.5 AH spread, even securing big wins against Stuttgart, Napoli, Udinese, etc...
Considering all the above, we believe that Atalanta should secure a comfortable win away from home.

Young Boys team news
A big part of Young Boys' poor performance this season is due to constant injuries. For this match, they will miss Miguel Chaiwa, Facinet Conte, Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer, and Banhie Zoukrou, while Abdu Conte is questionable due to a knock he sustained in the Zurich game around a month ago.
On the positive side, central defender Mohamed Camara recovered from his injury and played the entire game in the previous Super League round. We expect him to be in the starting lineup against Atalanta.

Atalanta team news
After a 3:1 win over Parma, coach Gian Piero Gaperini spoke to the media. He was delighted with a win and said they showed personality and were especially impressed with how they imposed their style on the game. "I am very satisfied with this match. It is not easy. Parma is dangerous, especially in attack," the coach added.
The team should have no new injuries, but the players who missed the previous game(s), should remain sidelined - Davide Zappacosta, Sead Kolasinac, Gianluca Scamacca, and Ben Godfrey.
