BSC Young Boys vs Atalanta: Prediction and Betting Tips

BSC Young Boys desperate for a win

Swiss side the Young Boys couldn’t capitalize on their winning start in the UCL this season. To illustrate, the Yellow Blacks beat Manchester United in their first match but lost their next three games. And the worst part is that coach David Wagner’s team scored just one goal in those three games and conceded seven.  

In effect, the Young Boys lie at the bottom of Group F with three points. However, Wagner’s team still have a chance to finish at least third and play in the Europa League. For that though the Yellow Blacks need to beat Atalanta at any cost to leap over the Italian’s to the third position. Looking back to the first game in Bergamo where the Swiss lost 1-0, they need a lot of improvement to get that desired win.

Atalanta chasing a top-two finish 

Playing in their third consecutive Uefa Champions League, Atalanta would like to do better than their last season’s round of 16 exit. Just one win two draws and a defeat, however, has made La Dea lie in third place of group F. Hence, a win is all that Gasperini is eyeing as his team travel to Basel. Any other result might make things complicated as they play Villarreal in the final round.

Certainly, Gasperini’s defense is suffering in this year’s UCL. To demonstrate, Atalanta have conceded seven goals already this season in four games and have one clean sheet. Thus Gasperini is aware that his team needs to stop giving away goals easily. As a result, he might adopt a more cautious approach to this game.

BSC Young Boys vs Atalanta Prediction

As we covered in the preview, this is a very important match for both teams. The Young Boys have a last chance to stay in contention of playing in Europe and only a win can enhance that chance. Similarly, Atalanta need a win to challenge for the top two spots.

Consequently, the odds are quite high for a win for both teams although Atalanta are the favorites with odds of 2.03. And looking at La Dea’s record in the UCL this season, the Italians have not won in their two away games.

To conclude, we will back an away win as we think Atalata are the stronger side between these two. Moreover, Atalanta have not lost an away game in Serie A. As for our second prediction, and considering the fact that both teams scored in the Young Boys’ and Atalanta’s recent games, both teams to score bet seems probable.
