Young Boys host Anderlecht in an exciting matchup for the play-offs of the Conference League. The Swiss team look like they are already starting to leave last year’s poor season behind them, being unbeaten in their nine competitive games of the new campaign and winning seven of them. With regards to their European adventure, they successively eliminated Liepaja and Kups, with aggregate scores of 4-0 and 5-0 respectively. Overall, Frick’s team have drastically improved their defence, which was the low point last year, counting eight clean sheets and having conceded just one goal in their nine competitive games so far, in what is surely a stellar defensive record.

 Felice Mazzu’s Anderlecht are also starting to hit usual heights, after an underwhelming season last year which saw them finish third behind Club Brugge and Union SG. They have started much better this time around, having won five of their first six competitive games of the season, and eliminating Estonian side Paide with an aggregate score of 5-0 to progress to the current round. Anderlecht are also in top form away from home, having won three of their last four and scoring eleven goals in those games, yet Young Boys surely represents a step up in quality and the Belgian side failed in similar away tests last year, losing to Gent for the Cup final and to Union SG for the Belgian play-offs.
