BSC Young Boys vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Kennedy Kechula in Champions League Predictions
Young Boys and Galatasaray will meet for the first leg of their Champions League playoff this Wednesday. Hosts Young Boys will be keen on taking the first leg advantage against the Turkish champions. Read on for our preview and prediction of this match.
After a troubled start to the season, Young Boys finally managed a win on Saturday. In the Schweizer Pokal, they thrashed lower league side Printse-Nendaz 10-0 for their first win of the season.
While they will be looking at that for motivation, a game against Galatasaray is a step-up in difficulty levels. The Swiss champions are really struggling in defence and that win also served as their first clean sheet of the season.
It will not help much that they lost three of their last four Champions League matches.
Like Young Boys, Galatasaray failed to go past the group stages in the Champions League last season. One of the two will not make it to the league phase this time and Galatasaray will hope it’s not them.
They have the backing of two straight wins for their confidence after their 5-0 loss to Besiktas to start their season. The visitors bagged the Turkish title last season after hitting a record 102 points and with the best defence.
While they have no clean sheet in their three matches thus far this season, their attack has shown promise in the last two matches. They are one of two sides to have won both opening matches, signaling their ambition in their title defence.
With three wins in five away Champions League matches, they will be a good pick for a positive start.

Our BSC Young Boys vs Galatasaray Prediction
Young Boys had a terrible start to the 2024/25 season, and only managed their first win after five matches. That was against a really low-ranking opponent, and here they’ll get a big reality check. It hasn’t been great for the hosts defensively and Galatasaray will want to exploit that.
The visitors will be more confident ahead of this game, given they are coming from back-to-back wins. As they seek a win though, Galatasaray will also be concerned about their defensive performances. Our prediction for Young Boys v Galatasaray is for Galatasaray to win.
