Young Boys are set to clash with Italian powerhouses Inter Milan at Stadion Wankdorf in the Champions League Group Stage on Wednesday.
After a commendable opening-day draw against Man City last month, Inter claimed their first Champions League victory of the season with a convincing 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade at San Siro two weeks later.
As Young Boys gear up for their inaugural competitive encounter with Inter, they undoubtedly face the challenge with some trepidation. This season's performances suggest that even with the advantage of playing at home, they may struggle to contain their Italian rivals.

Team news & squads
BSC Young Boys team news
The hosts boast several attacking talents, but Joel Monteiro has emerged as their most prolific player this season, having joined Cedric Itten on the scoresheet in their match against Luzern.
Interim manager Joel Magnin made six changes to the starting XI compared to YB's previous loss in Basel just before the international break, and further adjustments could be anticipated for the clash against Inter.
Saidy Janko (muscular), Patric Pfeiffer (knee), and Tanguy Zoukrou (hip) will all be unavailable for Wednesday's encounter due to injuries.
Young Boys possible XI: Van Ballmoos; Athekame, Camara, Benito, Hadjam; Niasse, Lakomy; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Itten.
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Bajrami, Von Ballmoos, Keller, Marzino |
Defenders: | Hadjam, Zoukrou, Husic, Camara, Benito, Athekame, Blum, Crnovrsanin |
Midfielders: | Ugrinic, Lakomy, Imeri, Colley, Chaiwa, Niasse, Lauper, Males, Monteiro |
Forwards: | Itten, Elia, Virginius, Conte, Ganvoula |
Inter team news
The visitors may be facing the repercussions of their victory, as both Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi were substituted due to suspected muscular injuries.
With Calhanoglu likely sidelined for the trip to Switzerland, coach Simone Inzaghi will be hoping that fellow midfielders Kristjan Asllani and Piotr Zielinski can recover in time, especially with the upcoming Derby d'Italia against Juventus on the horizon.
Inzaghi has recently rotated his attacking options, so either Mehdi Taremi or Marko Arnautovic may step into the starting lineup. However, in-form striker Marcus Thuram and captain Lautaro Martinez are the key players currently leading the line.
Inter Milan possible XI: Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Frattesi, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Taremi.
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Sommer, Di Gennaro, Martinez |
Defenders: | Dumfries, De Vrij, Acerbi, Pavard, Augusto, Bisseck, Dimarco, Darmian, Palacios, Bastoni |
Midfielders: | Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Barella |
Forwards: | Arnautovic, Thuram, Martinez, Correa, Taremi |
