Young Boys take on the visitors Maccabi Haifa in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification final. First leg result: 0-0. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 29th at Stadion Wankdorf (Bern).
Young Boys holds the advantage of their home ground. The Swiss giant has just begun their European cup season, needing to overcome just one opponent to secure a spot in the Champions League group stage. They held their ground in an away match, and now playing at home should be easier, but everything needs to be proven on the field. In the domestic league, Young Boys have played four matches, with 2 wins and 2 draws. The club stands in third place in the league, trailing the leader by 3 points, with a game in hand. It can't be said that the team is displaying phenomenal football, but their absence of losses instills confidence. The club has no personnel losses ahead of this encounter.

Maccabi seek entry into the group stage again. The Israeli champion has already covered a significant distance in this season's Champions League qualification. They successively defeated Hamrun, Sheriff, and Slovan Bratislava. The toughest challenge came against the Moldovan giant, Sheriff, whom they narrowly defeated in overtime. Maccabi are in good form, but overcoming the opponent on their own turf is no easy task. Two players won't be able to assist their teammates in this decisive battle.
In their previous home encounter, the Israeli club was favored, but they couldn't capitalize on the advantage of their home field, resulting in a dull goalless draw. Expect an intriguing battle between fairly evenly matched opponents. On paper, the hosts are considered favorites for the encounter. The main advantage for the Swiss champion lies in the fact that their home stadium has an artificial turf, which can hinder many opponents from showcasing their style of play. We believe that Maccabi will put up a strong match, hence we're betting on the success of the away team with a +1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Maccabi Haifa to win with +1.0 handicap.
