Young Boys to edge entertaining encounter

Swiss champions Young Boys will head into this encounter on a 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions, with eight of those games ending in victory.

The goals have also been flowing for Gerardo Seoane’s side of late, as they have netted in 16 of their last 17 games, while six of their last seven at the Wankdorf Arena have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

It is a similar story for German outfit Bayer Leverkusen, as they were the top scorers during this season’s Europa League group stage, netting 21 goals in their six matches.

Leverkusen will also head into Thursday’s contest having netted seven goals across their last two games, including five in their recent league thrashing of Stuttgart.

However, that is the only victory Peter Bosz’ side have achieved from their last five games across all competitions, which is why we are predicting Young Boys to edge a narrow first leg victory on Thursday.

We do predict that Leverkusen will get on the scoresheet though and we are expecting over 2.5 goals to be notched during the contest.
