Young Boys take on the visitors KuPS in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 2-0. The match will be played on Thursday, August 11th at Stadion Wankdorf (Bern).
Young Boys had most recently been a perennial leader in Swiss football. The Yellow-Blacks have become champions a dozen times in their history. As a rule, they take titles in series. In 2018, the title was taken after a pause of more than 3 decades. After that, it managed to stay in 1st place three more times. But a year ago, Georardo Seoane changed Bern to Leverkusen. He showed himself excellently at Bayer, but it was not possible to find a worthy replacement for him. The team rolled back to 3rd place, and was left without the Champions League. And it's no surprise that the players run away. Soleimani, Abisher, Syebatsho left. Kanga, having a great start to the new season, went to Hertha in August. Nevertheless, Liepaja was defeated in the previous qualifying round: 1-0 in Latvia, 3-0 at home. In Finland, the trend continued. It turned out to win there, and again it was with a clean sheet.

KuPS have recently returned to the ranks of the strongest - albeit in Finland, which is modest in terms of football. In 2019, it was possible to regain the championship title, the 6th in history. Last year, the "canaries" took 2nd place, although they fought for the "gold" to the end. But at the same time, they managed to win the national cup and showed themselves well in European competitions, for their level. Now it is this team that is leading in the Veikkausliiga, although there is still a very long time before the denouement and 3 more or less equal contenders. At the same time, so far it has been possible to continue the struggle in the international arena. At first there was a rather comfortable pass for Dila from Gori (2-0 at home and 0-0 in Georgia). Then, with Milsami, it was not possible to win at home in the 87th minute the visitors scored and took 2-2. But in Moldova, KuPS defeated the hosts with a score of 4-1. Now the task is much more difficult: on August 4, the club lost 0-2 at home.
Last Thursday in Finland, the teams took to the pitch together for the first time to play each other. Bookmakers are confident that Young Boys will win the second leg as well, and very easily. But the defeat has no tournament sense. So it’s worth taking a closer look at the option with “under 3.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
