Young Boys vs Inter prediction 23.10.2024

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Wednesday, 23rd October, 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadion Wankdorf (Bern)

Young Boys have been a dominant force in Switzerland in recent years, winning six league titles in the last eight seasons. However, this season has been a pure disaster as they are currently in 10th place with only nine points in ten rounds. Because of that bad start, they already changed the coach during the international break and managed to win their first game under the new coach against Luzern. In the Champions League, they easily lost both games against Aston Villa and Barcelona and will look for their first points against Inter, one of the leading contenders for the CL title.

Inter won their 20th Scudetto last year but failed to do well in the Cup competitions. Considering how dominant they were in Serie A, we can safely say they heavily underperformed and had to do much better. During the Summer, they only added depth and are once again one of the primary candidates for the titles in all competitions they are in. However, the impression is that Nerazzurri are slightly worse than last year for some reason. In the Champions League, they won four points in two rounds, while they are in 2nd place in Serie A with two points behind the first-placed Napoli. However, after four wins in a row, it seems they are getting better as the season progresses.

Young Boys vs Inter pick: Inter to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

Young Boys have had a disastrous season. While losing both games in the Champions League isn't really a surprise, losses against the teams in the domestic league surely are. In the Champions League, they were disastrous, losing 5:0 to Barcelona and 3:0 to Aston Villa.

Yes, they stopped a three-game losing streak with a win against Luzern under the new coach, but they haven't looked impressive, and it is unreal to expect a positive result against Inter after such poor performances in the CL.

Inter won four in a row while scoring 11 goals - 2.75 per game. For some reason, they are looking slightly worse defensively than we have used from Inter recently. Still, we believe they can keep a clean sheet against Young Boys, which failed to score in three out of the last four games.

Simply put, the difference in quality and form is massive, and anything but a comfortable win for Inter would be a massive surprise.
