Crvena Zvezda vs Young Boys Predictions
[wptb id=394010]
A European Resurgence at Signal Iduna Park?
Key Stats
– Jean-Pierre Nsame and Cedric Itten have a combined goal tally of 11 for Young Boys this season.
– Both teams have a combined average of over 5 goals per game in their respective leagues.
Two sides, both desperate for their first victory in Group G of the Champions League, are set to clash on a momentous Wednesday night at the Rajko Mitic Stadium. Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys each suffered a 3-1 defeat in their inaugural group game. While the Serbian team was humbled by Manchester City, the Swiss side suffered at the hands of RB Leipzig.
Red Star’s recent Champions League campaign, after a four-year hiatus, might not have started on a winning note, but their spirited performance against City at the Etihad was commendable. Barak Bakhar’s squad surprised many by leading at halftime, thanks to Osman Bukari’s skilful finish. However, the sheer dominance of the City side, with a whopping 76% possession and 37 attempts on goal, ultimately turned the tables.
The hosts will enter this clash on the back of a morale-boosting 1-0 win against Radnicki Nis, eyeing their first Champions League group-stage triumph since their 3-0 victory over Olympiacos in October 2019.

On the flip side, Young Boys, marking their third participation in the Champions League group stage, will also be pursuing a historic first away win in the competition. Their only previous away point came from a draw with Manchester United in 2021.
Star Performers and Team Analysis
Red Star Belgrade: With a BettingTips4You Expert Rating average of 7.19, the Serbian giants have been impressive domestically. Their attacking prowess is evident with 22 goals in eight matches, a 67.9% ball possession rate, and 7.4 corners per game. Jean-Philippe Krasso leads the charts with six goals, while In-Beom Hwang and Mirko Ivanic have also made notable contributions.
The home team’s preferred formation seems to be a balanced setup, with Bukari, who mostly operates on the right flank, potentially teaming up with Jean-Philippe Krasso and Cherif Ndiaye upfront.
Young Boys: With a BettingTips4You Expert Rating average of 6.98 in the Swiss Super League, they have netted 17 times in their eight games. Their ball possession stands at 58.8% with an average of 7.5 corners per game. Jean-Pierre Nsame and Cedric Itten, having netted 11 goals between them this season, will likely be the primary attacking threats for the visitors.
Predictions
- Market Prediction: Both Teams to Score – Both sides have shown considerable attacking vigour, with Red Star averaging 2.8 goals per match and Young Boys at 2.1. The recent defensive lapses, especially in their respective Champions League outings, make this an enticing bet.
- Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw – Considering the offensive strengths of both teams and their recent vulnerabilities at the back, a high-scoring draw seems plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Jean-Philippe Krasso – The forward has been in sublime form for Red Star, leading their scoring charts with six goals. His recent form makes him a strong candidate to find the net against Young Boys.
- Corner Prediction: Red Star to have more corners; Total Corners Over 10.5 – Red Star’s impressive corner statistic of 7.4 per game and Young Boys’ 7.5 corners per game make this a promising bet.
