A home win will be hard to bet against when making a Barcelona vs. Young Boys prediction on Tuesday.

The second round of matches in the new-look Champions League will get underway in Spain on Tuesday.

Hansi Flick’s European debut with Barcelona ended in defeat, meaning that the pressure will increase ahead of the trip of Switzerland’s Young Boys on Tuesday.

Transferring Dominant Domestic Displays an Issue for Barca

Domestically, it has been a dominant start to the 2024-25 season for Barcelona. They have won seven from seven in La Liga to hold an early advantage over Real Madrid.

However, they failed to continue that form in their Champions League opener against AS Monaco on matchday one.

Eric Garcia’s red card after ten minutes did little to help their chances, and Monaco netted their winner with 20 minutes remaining.

It marked just the third time in Champions League history that Barcelona had suffered defeat on matchday one.

Problems Mounting at Young Boys

This is a good opportunity for Barcelona to gain maximum points for the first time in the Champions League this season.

Young Boys have issues across the field, and their record this term only supports that argument.

The Swiss side have won just once in seven domestic outings this season, and they were soundly beaten in their Champions League opener on September 17.

The 3-0 loss against Aston Villa was their 12th defeat in 19 matches in the competition. Young Boys have also now suffered defeats on matchday one in three of their four appearances.

Big-Scoring Success for Barcelona on the Cards

Barcelona look good value to bounce back from their disappointing defeat against Monaco on matchday one this week.

The Spanish giants have scored an incredible 23 goals across their opening seven in La Liga, and we could see them scoring at least three times against their Swiss opponents at the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday.

Pick:

  • Barcelona -1
