Young Boys vs. Man City picks and predictions
Prediction
Man City 3, Young Boys 1
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Man City is a far superior side, and they should come out on top with relative ease, as they did on the road against RB Leipzig and at home against Red Star.
However, at -550, there’s no value in betting the favorite to win outright. Considering the Young Boys have struggled against other group stage opponents, it is unlikely they pull off the upset and not worth the lofty return.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (+110).
Man City has scored 3 goals in both group stage matches thus far, and they have a combined 6.3 expected goals in those matches. They also conceded a goal in game too. Throughout all competitions, City has had 1 clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Young Boys have a competent offense, and at home, they should be able to produce a goal. Against weaker competition, they have given up 5 Champions League goals while scoring in both games.
Expect City to get several with ease as they have and the Young Boys to get on the board as well. Take OVER 3.5 (+110).
