Overview
Young Boys are considered one of the weakest teams in the 2024-2025 Champions League. The traditional Swiss club is also going through a series of forgettable matches when ranking 10th out of 13 in the domestic league. They have only got 9 points after 10 rounds.
In the Champions League, Young Boys lost 0-3 to Aston Villa and 0-5 to Barcelona. They are currently at the bottom of the Champions League table after 2 matches.
With their current poor form, Young Boys will find it difficult to create a surprise against the reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan.
The Milanese side paid a heavy price for their 1-0 win at AS Roma last weekend when centre-back Acerbi and midfielder Calhanoglu both picked up injuries. They will both miss the next few games and are a huge blow for Inter.
However, Young Boys are far inferior to Inter in every aspect, despite the Serie A team losing many key players. Moreover, Inter are in good form, having won their last four matches in a row. Since the beginning of the season, coach Simone Inzaghi's team has only lost one match.
Despite playing at home in the upcoming match, Young Boys will find it difficult to create a miracle against an Inter team that is superior in form and class. They may even continue to suffer another heavy defeat in this season's Champions League.
In terms of head-to-head record, this will be the first time Young Boys and Inter Milan have met.
Human resources situation
Young Boys have injury concerns with Tanguy Zoukrou, Facinet Conte and Saidy Janko ruled out of the game. Meanwhile, Cedric Itten scored last weekend and will continue to lead the Swiss attack.
On the other side of the front line, Inter Milan lost Calhanoglou and Acerbi due to injury. Therefore, De Vrij and Davide Frattesi are likely to be on the field from the start.
Expected lineup:
Young Boys: Von Ballmoos, Conte, Bentley, Camara, Athekame, Monteiro, Niasse, Males, Ugrinic, Elia, Itten.
Inter Milan: Sommer, Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez.
The match between Young Boys and Inter Milan takes place at 2:00 a.m. on October 24 (Vietnam time).
