Young Boys vs Slovan Bratislava

Young Boys are looking to build on a slim 1-0 lead when they host Slovan Bratislava in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League playoffs.

This tie can still swing either way, and both teams will come into Thursday's clash believing they can claim the upper hand. However, the Swiss side have looked more solid lately and should come out on top, with the visitors often unconvincing on their travels.

Young Boys News

It was a closely fought contest in the first leg, and Young Boys will be pleased with their performance and the result. They struck early in the first half through Chris Bedia and were able to hold on for the win.

Young Boys’ overall form has been solid lately as they are unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions, winning the last two on this run. Giorgio Contini’s team are also unbeaten in their last seven home matches across all competitions.

The Swiss side often make fast starts and have opened the scoring in their last two matches. Six of their last 10 fixtures across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Slovan Bratislava News

Slovan Bratislava will be disappointed to have come away empty-handed from the home leg of the tie. They saw a lot of possession and created scoring opportunities, but failed to find the breakthrough.

Things have been a bit erratic for Slovan Bratislava, who are winless in three of their last five matches across all competitions. They are also winless in five of their last six away matches across all competitions, playing out a 1-1 draw at Michalovce in a domestic fixture last weekend.

Like the hosts, Slovan Bratislava often adopt an open style of play which produces goals. Seven of the last 10 away matches across all competitions for Vladimir Weiss' team have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Young Boys have never lost in this fixture, picking up four wins and one draw from five previous matches against Slovan Bratislava. The Swiss side claimed a 1-0 away victory in last week's first leg.

Verdict

Young Boys v Slovan Bratislava

Young Boys have scored first in their last two matches and could be backed to grab the opening goal on Thursday. Both teams are likely to be fired up for this one, and with seven of Slovan Bratislava’s last 10 away matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be considered.

The Swiss side have a solid record in this fixture and are also unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions. They should get the better of Slovan Bratislava, who are winless in five of their last six away matches.
