Galatasaray vs BSC Young Boys Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
A spot in Europe’s elite club competition awaits either Galatasaray or Young Boys who will face off in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier playoffs on Tuesday night at RAMS Park. The winner of this tie will enter the main draw of the 2024-25 revamped Champions League while the loser will compete in the Europa League this season. Check out our match prediction below.
Last week, YB got the job done at Wankdorf Stadium, securing a one-goal lead over Cimbom with Filip Ugrinic scoring the winner in the 86th minute when the scores were tied at 2-2 and the match seemingly looking to end in a stalemate.
Both these sides featured in the Champions League last season but bowed out in the group stage, dropping to the Europa League by finishing third. Gala are currently the heavy favourites heading into this fixture but can they overturn the one-goal deficit? Let’s get into the key stats for this encounter.

Galatasaray - BSC Young Boys: Form Analysis
Galatasaray must have felt that they were going to leave Switzerland last week level pegging when Michy Batshuayi scored two quick-fire goals in the second half to even up the tie after conceding two early goals.
However, all that changed when Cimbom went down to 10 men in the 84th minute, just two minutes before they conceded the third goal of the match, leaving them with work to do on their home patch this week.
Still, Gala will be fairly confident in their chances of overturning the deficit, as they have only lost once in their last six league home games and scored two or more goals in all but one of those matches.
Galatasaray's only home loss in last season's Champions League was against Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Young Boys shot out the blocks at home in the first leg and looked like they would surge to victory when Joel Monteiro gave them a two-goal lead before the halftime interval.
YB had less possession (47%) and fewer shots at goal (16) than their opponents, but they made the most of their attempts, finding the back of the net with three of the five shots on target that they managed.
However, the one major concern for the Swiss champions is that they failed to win any of their away group-stage matches in this competition last season and also drew their away qualification match 0-0 against Maccabi Haifa.

Galatasaray & BSC Young Boys Squad Analysis
Okan Buruk’s side will have to make do without the services of Abdulkerim Bardakci, who was the player sent off in the first leg for a handball in his box which led to the late penalty for YB after a VAR review.
The only injury absentee for Cimbom in this home leg of qualifying is former Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Davinson Sanchez, who has missed the club’s last five matches in all competitions with a hamstring strain.
Young Boys could be without as many as five players for this match due to injury!
Confirmed absentees for the visitors will include Patric Pfeiffer (hip injury), Saidy Janko (muscle injury) and Facinet Conte, who is ruled out for the rest of this season with a severe ACL injury.
Kastriot Imeri is flagged as a doubt owing to a sprained ankle, while Loris Benito has returned to training after a knee injury but Patrick Rahmen may be tentative to send him out from the start.
