Young Boys v Atalanta
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 26th November at 20:00
🏆
Competition: UEFA Champions League
📺
Watch Live: TNT Sports 7
Young Boys host Atalanta on Tuesday night, with the Swiss side desperate for a result after losing all 4 of their matches in the competition so far.
Atalanta remain undefeated in 9th position in the Champions League table, with two wins and two draws to their name.
⭐ Young Boys v Atalanta Best Bets
Atalanta have been rock-solid defensively this season, particularly in the Champions League, where they are yet to concede a single goal. Impressively, this includes matches against formidable opponents like Arsenal and Celtic, showcasing their defensive discipline and resilience.
In contrast, Young Boys have struggled offensively in the competition, managing just one goal so far and averaging a meagre 2.25 shots on target per game. Their lack of cutting edge in attack makes it hard to envision them breaking through Atalanta’s organized defence, especially given the Italians’ stellar form.
This matchup strongly favours Atalanta to keep a clean sheet, making BTTS (No) a compelling and value-packed option at odds of 2.15.
👕 Young Boys v Atalanta Predicted XI
🔍 Young Boys v Atalanta Players to Watch
🟡 Filip Ugrinic
This selection offers solid value given Ugrinic’s contribution to Young Boys’ attack. He has registered 2 shots on target in the Champions League this season, more than any other player on the team. Ugrinic is one of just three Young Boys players to have featured in all four group stage matches, underlining his reliability and importance to the squad.
Across all competitions this season, only Itten has attempted more shots than Ugrinic, further highlighting his involvement in their offensive play. Playing at home, Young Boys are likely to create some opportunities, albeit limited, and Ugrinic stands out as the most probable source of an attempt on target.
🔵 Ademola Lookman
Ademola Lookman has been a key attacking force for Atalanta, averaging 1.3 shots on target per game in Serie A this season. He is Atalanta’s top scorer in the Champions League, highlighting his pivotal role in their attack.
The matchup against Young Boys is particularly favourable. The Swiss side have been defensively vulnerable, conceding an average of 7 shots on target per game in the Champions League. Lookman, alongside Retegui, has accounted for the majority of Atalanta’s shots on target, over double that of any other players in the squad.
Given his form and the opposition, Lookman registering 2+ shots on target appears to be a high-value selection here.

💻 Young Boys v Atalanta Form and Tactics
These two teams could not be more different in terms of form this season, especially domestically. Atalanta have shown remarkable improvement compared to last year. They currently sit second in Serie A, boasting the league’s most prolific attack with 34 goals scored in just 13 matches.
After a sluggish start, they’ve hit their stride, winning their last seven league games and nine of their last ten across all competitions. Their form is as impressive as it is consistent.
In stark contrast, Young Boys have experienced a significant decline. After dominating the Swiss league by winning the title in six of the last seven seasons, they find themselves languishing in 9th place after 15 games – a shocking turn of events.
Their Champions League campaign has been equally disappointing, suffering four heavy defeats and managing to score just once in the group stages. With their form spiralling downward, they face an uphill battle to turn their season around. This stark difference in momentum makes Atalanta clear favourites heading into this clash.

🏁 Young Boys v Atalanta Ref Watch
- Referee: Manfredas Lukjančukas
- He has averaged 4.5 yellow cards per game across his six officiated matches. However, last season he was even stricter, issuing an impressive 149 yellow cards across 27 matches—an average of 5.5 per game.
- Given his tendency to enforce discipline heavily, the yellow card markets could provide interesting opportunities for bettors in this game. With both teams potentially battling for critical points, expect Lukjančukas to have a busy evening managing tempers on the field.
