Prediction published on 26/07/2022, 22:35  by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions

Young Boys took a step closer to the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League with a 1-0 win over Latvian side Liepaja and they will be looking to complete the job at home when the two sides face off in the return leg. The win was a continuation of their positive start to the season, which sees them perched at the top of the Swiss domestic league after two wins in two games. Right from preseason, Young Boys have been strong, coming into this game unbeaten in eight matches and in the last five, they’ve scored two or more goals in three. In the last five matches they have four clean sheets; so far in their competitive matches this season, Young Boys haven’t conceded a goal.

Liepaja’s season in Latvia is at an advanced stage; they’ve played 22 times and are fourth in the standings. It hasn’t been easy for them in the recent matches though; they get here with three losses in the last four matches and with just one clean sheet in the last five games. Three times in the last five matches, Liepaja have failed to score, and when they indeed scored, they managed more than a goal in just one of their last five matches. Away from home, Liepaja have failed to win any of their last three matches; in fact, they’ve suffered losses in their last two away matches. In two of the last three away games, they’ve conceded two or more goals.
