Astana take on the visitors Young Boys in the round 2 match of Europa League group stage. The match will be played at Astana Arena on Thursday, September 29th.
Astana started the group stage with 1-2 away loss to APOEL, which was quite expected result. At the same time, the team still have no competitors in domestic league. Astana have a lead in Kazakhstan with 65 points taken in 27 matches. Home results of the team are quite nice. Actually, 1-4 home loss to Kairat ended Astana’s 19-match unbeaten home streak since last November.

Young Boys also started the group stage with loss. The Swiss side lost at home to Olympiacos, 0-1. The Boys played three matches after that, tying two games and beating amateur team in Swiss cup. Of course, Young Boys show their best results in home matches. Their nine away games got them three wins, two draws and four lost matches. We should note that two wins were taken over amateur teams in the domestic cup and the most recent away win over solid team was recorded in the end of July over St. Gallen, 2-0.
The upcoming clash will be decisive for both team after they both lost opening matches in Europa League group stage. Both teams show their best football at home so Astana have advantage in this match. We can expect the home field to help the hosts to press opponents and be closer to a victory.
Prediction for the match: Astana to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
