Young Boys vs Inter Milan: Preview
After tasting a bitter defeat to Manchester City in the first match week, Inter Milan defeated Red Star Belgrade 4-0. Milan has not just struggled in the Champions League; they have had other hard times, as they lost the Milan derby earlier this season as well. It is still not too late for the Blues if they are to bounce back from the situation that has arisen.
Young Boys also face various problems in terms of their discrepancies of required quality. They were thumped 5-0 by Barcelona in the Champions League fixture and also by Aston Villa by a margin of 3 goals. A lot of work is to be done in key areas such as team coordination and synergy.
Young Boys vs Inter Milan: Team News
Inter Milan
Inter’s victory in Rome on Sunday came at a cost, with both Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi suffering potential muscle injuries. Calhanoglu is expected to miss the trip to Switzerland, and coach Simone Inzaghi is hopeful that midfielders Kristjan Asllani and Piotr Zielinski will be fit to return. Especially with a key clash against Juventus on Sunday approaching.
Inzaghi has been rotating his forwards recently, so Mehdi Taremi or Marko Arnautovic could get the nod, though Marcus Thuram and captain Lautaro Martinez are likely to start. Martinez is just one goal away from becoming Inter’s top non-Italian scorer and is closing in on Adriano’s Champions League scoring record.
Young Boys
On the Young Boys side, Joel Monteiro has been their standout player this season, finding the net along with Cedric Itten in their win over Luzern. Interim coach Joel Magnin made six changes after their recent loss to Basel, and more adjustments are expected for the Inter match. Unfortunately, Saidy Janko (muscle), Patric Pfeiffer (knee), and Tanguy Zoukrou (hip) are ruled out due to injuries.
Possible Starting XI
Young Boys possible starting lineup: Van Ballmoos; Athekame, Camara, Benito, Hadjam; Niasse, Lakomy; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Itten
Inter Milan’s possible starting lineup: Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Frattesi, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Taremi
Match Prediction
The match is going to be a great watch as both teams are stacked with high-quality players. Those three points are critical; both teams will do their best to secure them. Inter Milan has an edge to win the fixture by a huge margin. However, Young Boys won’t stay quiet and could be lethal enough on counterattacks as they have been in the past few matches. Can they even steal a point? We’ll have to be patient and see.
