The Red Devils are coming off a 4-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, while Young Boys are coming off a 4-0 win over Zurich in the Swiss Super League.
Young Boys
• Young Boys will be missing no fewer than five players for the visit of Manchester United.
• Fabian Lustenberger, Jean-Pierre Nsame, Esteban Petignat, Joel Monteiro, and Nico Mainer have all been ruled out.
Manchester United
• Scott McTominay and Edinson Cavani are both doubts, though the former may be able to play against West Ham on Sunday.
• Marcus Rashford, Alex Telles, Dean Henderson, and Phil Jones are all out of the Champions League match on Tuesday.
• Jesse Lingard scored from the bench against Newcastle but is unlikely to start here.
• Fred did not play in Saturday’s 4-1 victory, but he is expected to return.
Prediction
• Young Boys have made a strong start to the Swiss Super League season, collecting eight points from five games. A 4-0 win over league leaders FC Zuerich on Saturday is sure to boost morale ahead of Manchester United’s visit.
• United also scored four goals over the weekend, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Newcastle. In the group stages of the 2018/19 Champions League campaign, the Premier League side faced Young Boys and won both games while conceding zero goals.
• Given the disparity in talent between the two teams, United should come away with all three points on Tuesday night.
Young Boys have the tools to hurt Manchester United, who gave Newcastle too much space on the counter-attack on Saturday. We expect the home side to score on Tuesday, but we believe the Red Devils will be too strong on the other end, so a 3-1 away win is possible.
Young Boys possible starting lineup:
Von Ballmoos; Hefti, Camara, Zesiger, Garcia; Fassnacht, Sierro, Aebischer, Ngamaleu; Elia, Siebatcheu
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
Our Prediction: Young Boys 1-3 Manchester United
