BSC Young Boys - LWDLWD
Sadin Crnovrsanin (unknown injury), Loris Benito (Adductor injury), Tanguy Zoukrou (Hip flexor problems), Saidy Janko (Muscle injury), Miguel Chaiwa (Torn ankle ligaments), Facinet Conte (Cruciate ligament tear), Patric Pfeiffer (Inner ligament injury) and Abdu Conté (Inner ligament injury) will not be taking part for BSC Young Boys gaffer Joël Magnin.
We think that BSC Young Boys look set to kick off with a 4-4-2 formation for this game, beginning the first half with David von Ballmoos, Lewin Blum, Sandro Lauper, Mohamed Aly Camara, Jaouen Hadjam, Darian Males, Cheikh Niasse, Filip Ugrinic, Alan Virginius, Meschack Elia and Cedric Itten.
BSC Young Boys enter this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Super League drawn result versus FC Luzern.
In that game, BSC Young Boys managed 49% possession and 13 shots on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for BSC Young Boys was Darian Males (34'). At the other end, Luzern got 8 shots on goal with 3 on target. Thibault Klidje (79') was the scorer for FC Luzern.
It has been all too rare in recent times that BSC Young Boys haven’t conceded. The reality is that BSC Young Boys have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals during that time. We will see if that trend will be continued on in this game.
Atalanta - WWWWWW
Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini has not got a full squad to pick from. Sead Kolasinac (Muscle injury), Davide Zappacosta (Calf problems) and Gianluca Scamacca (Cruciate ligament tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
There’s a good chance that La Dea seem most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 system, going with Marco Carnesecchi, Rafael Toloi, Isak Hien, Odilon Kossounou, Raoul Bellanova, Matteo Ruggeri, Mario Pasalic, Marten de Roon, Lazar Samardzic, Ademola Lookman and Mateo Retegui.
Atalanta will go into the game after a 1-3 Serie A win with the defeat of Parma in their last outing.
In that match, Atalanta had 55% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Atalanta, the goals were scored by Mateo Retegui (4'), Éderson (39') and Ademola Lookman (75'). At the other end, Parma got 9 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Matteo Cancellieri (49') scored for Parma.
A series of reliable showings by the Atalanta defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 2 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 15.
Young Boys possible starting lineup:
Keller; Athekame, Lauper, Camara, Blum; Males, Lakomy, Ugrinic, Colley; Imeri; Ganvoula
Atalanta BC possible starting lineup:
Carnesecchi; Toloi, Hien, Kossounou; Bellanova, Samardzic, De Roon, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere; Lookman, Retegui

Prediciton: Young Boys 0-3 Atalanta BC
An Atalanta side under Gasperini's wing almost always guarantee goals, whereas Young Boys have been largely toothless in Europe this season and will surely fall to La Dea's superiority on Tuesday. The hosts do not help themselves in the final third either - their shot conversion rate of 2.1% is the second-worst in the tournament - so Atalanta should also maintain their perfect defensive record at Stadion Wankdorf.
