FC Young Boys hosts KF Tirana in the Europa League qualification final. The match will be played on Thursday, October 1st at Stadion Wankdorf (Bern)
Last year's champion of Switzerland is not impressive at the beginning of this season. Young Boys ignominiously lost to Midtjylland in the Champions League qualification (0:3), beat Zurich in the championship only due to the sending-off in the opponent's camp (2:1), and could not defeat the outsider Sion (0:0), delivering only two shots on its target. Obviously, Young Boys are not in their best game condition.

Last year's champion of Albania Tirana looked decent in the current qualification of the Champions League. The Albanians beat Dynamo Tbilisi on the road (0:2) and lost to strong Crvena Zvezda with a minimum score at home (0:1). Albanian football has been progressing in recent years, and clubs from this country have been showing quite good results in the qualification for European cups. They offer battle even to very serious teams.
Of course, FC Young Boys is much stronger than the Albanian club, but I don’t consider it such an obvious favorite and don’t expect a thumping from the Swiss. Judging by the results of the hosts, they are experiencing obvious difficulties, and the visitors are a hard nut to crack. It won’t be easy for the Swiss to breach the Albanian "bus", which Tirana will undoubtedly park in its penalty area. I think Young Boys will advance further due to its class, but they are unlikely to gain hammering victory.
Prediction for the match: KF Tirana to win with +2.0 handicap
