Manchester City take on the visitors Young Boys in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 7th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City finally reached the Champions League last season, and it's evident that Pep Guardiola, a true optimist, intends to defend their status as the winners of the premier European cup. They have practically secured their first objective in this regard, reaching the playoffs. While City didn't put in extraordinary effort and didn't play flawlessly, they managed to defeat Red Star and RB Leipzig at home and Young Boys away. Interestingly, the scoreline was consistent - all the matches were won by the English team with a 3-1 score. In Bern, Erling Haaland, who had been silent in this season's Champions League until then, finally woke up and scored a brace, with his first goal coming from a penalty.

Young Boys haven't been as convincing this season. The Yellow-Blacks interrupted their growing dominance in Swiss football in the 2021/2022 season. They brought in Raphael Wicky to restore the club's glory, and he did so brilliantly, securing a golden double on his first attempt. However, Yellow-Blacks aren't leaving a strong impression this season, with losses and draws in abundance. In the Champions League, after confidently progressing through the qualifying stage against Maccabi (0-0 in Haifa, 3-0 at home), they found themselves competing for the third place. They lost to both RB Leipzig and Manchester City, both times with a 1-3 scoreline in Bern. However, they did manage to win in Belgrade against Red Star, although the Serbians eventually secured a 2-2 draw in the late stages of the match.
On October 25th, the teams had their first head-to-head encounter, and the English side won convincingly with a 3-1 victory away. An emphatic, dominant victory is expected from the English team. However, they consistently concede goals, just scoring significantly more than their opponents. Why wouldn't that trend continue? Let's bet on both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
