The UEFA Champions League Group F fixture, Manchester United vs. BSC Young Boys, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, December 8, at Old Trafford. Referee Benoît Bastien (FRA) has been selected to officiate this game.

BSC Young Boys must win and hope Atalanta fails to do likewise in their game against Villarreal to secure a 3rd place finish and go through to the Europa League. Sitting at the bottom of the group with 4 points after 1W, 1D, and 3L, YB trails the Italian side by two points. On UCL MD5, BSC Young Boys picked up a 3-3 draw against Atalanta to keep their chances open for European football of any kind. The Swiss club makes an entry into the star-studded arena of champions with only one victory in five games across all competitions: DDLWL. A 4—3—3 formation with Theoson Siebatcheu at the center of the attacking trio is anticipated on Wednesday. If booked, Aebischer, Moumi Ngamaleu, and Sierro will miss the next match. Ulisses Garcia (calf injury) has been ruled out until next year, while Felix Mambimbi is expected to sit this one out, having picked up a ligament injury over the weekend against Servette.

Following the 1-0 defeat to the Italians on UEFA Champions League Matchday 2, BSC Young Boys meet Atalanta B.C. once more, as they plot revenge while seeking to overturn a torrid run of form on European soil. Referee Daniel Siebert (GER) will be in control of the game for the length of the ninety, plus extra-time after kickoff at 21:00 (GMT+1) on UCL Matchday 5, Tuesday, November 23, at the Stade de Suisse.

In dire need of a win, Young Boys are rooted to the bottom of Group F with 3 points after 1W, 0D, & 3L following the 2-0 defeat to Villarreal on UCL MD4. The loss left BSC YB with three consecutive defeats on European soil (WLLL) after four days. Villarreal’s Étienne Capoue (36’) tucked away the rebound from an initial effort, as he bagged his second goal for the club to leave Young Boys with a one-goal deficit six minutes past the half-hour mark. A few minutes later, Young Boys thought they had the leveler, but a VAR check chalked off the goal for offside. Both sides came close to hitting the back of the net, but it was the cobra, Arnaut Danjuma (89'), that struck and eventually snuffed the life out of BSC Young Boys with a minute left on the clock. And as expected, it was followed by a snake-styled celebration. David Wagner understands that his team must win to remain in contention for a last-16 berth without the help of other results. The Swiss side will be condemned to a fourth-place finish if they pick up a defeat on Tuesday. David Wagner, 49, is expected to adopt the 4—4—2 formation with the attacking duo of Theoson Siebatcheu and Meschack Elia. Riddled with injuries, the club could be without as many as six players. In addition, if booked, Michel Aebischer and Vincent Sierro will miss the next game.

The reverse UEFA Champions League Group F fixture between Villarreal and BSC Young Boys kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, November 2, at El Madrigal. Referee Serdar Gözübüyük (NED) will be in charge of this fixture, with help coming from Jochem Kamphuis (NED) in the VAR room.

BSC Young Boys picked up a 3-1 defeat over the weekend in the Swiss Super League against St. Gallen. They sit in 3rd place in a league of 10, having played 11 games. With the 4-1 defeat to Villarreal on continental soil, the Swiss outfit dropped two spots from 2nd place to the bottom of Group F, while having only three points. - Following the famous 2-1 win over Manchester United on UCL Matchday 1: 1W, 0D & 2L. Manager David Wagner failed to reduce the Yellow Submarine to a floating raft on UCL Matchday 3, but will have a go once again on Tuesday. However, BSC Young Boys will return to the table of champions with back-to-back defeats in five games across all competitions: DLWLL. David Wagner’s probable 4—4—2 formation could see Theoson Siebatcheu and Meschack Elia in attack once again. Cédric Zesiger suffered an injury to the metatarsal (right foot) and is ruled out for this fixture against Villarreal. In addition, Fabian Lustenberger and Jean-Pierre Nsame are also in doubt following lengthy injury lay-offs due to ruptured Achilles' tendons.

The UEFA Champions League Group F fixture between BSC Young Boys and UEFA Europa League holders, Villarreal, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, October 20 at the Stadion Wankdorf. Referee Sergei Karasev (RUS) will have Igor Demeshko (RUS) and Maksim Gavrilin (RUS) helping out, while Vitali Meshkov (RUS) will be the VAR.

Ten-men BSC Young Boys picked up a 1-1 draw over the weekend in the Swiss Super League against FC Luzern on home soil. In their ninth UEFA Champions League campaign, Young Boys picked up a defeat on UCL Matchday 2, courtesy of a single strike by Matteo Pessina in the 68th minute. The defeat leaves the Swiss outfit in 2nd place in Group F while having equal points with Manchester United (3), after 1W, 0D & 1L. Manager David Wagner will look to reduce the Yellow Submarine to nothing but a floating raft on UC Matchday 3, having failed to win on Matchday 2. Following their participation in the UCL qualifying round, Young Boys have already played eight games in this season’s UEFA Champions League, picking up four victories on home soil. In addition, BSC Young Boys have lost only once in five games across all competitions: WWLWD. David Wagner’s probable 4—4—2 formation could see Theoson Siebatcheu and Meschack Elia in attack once again. Cédric Zesiger suffered an injury to the metatarsal (right foot) and is ruled out for this fixture against Villarreal.

The UEFA Champions League Group F fixture, Atalanta B.C. vs. BSC Young Boys kicks off at 17:45 (GMT+1) on Matchday 2, Wednesday, September 29 at the Gewiss Stadium. Referee Felix Brych (GER) will be in charge while Mark Borsch (GER) and Stefan Lupp (GER) will be assisting. Sascha Stegemann (GER) will be in the VAR room.

Young Boys defeated ten-men Manchester United 2-1 on UCL Matchday 1 at the Stadion Wankdorf. Cristiano Ronaldo (13') bagged his 135th goal of the UEFA Champions League well before the Red Devils were reduced to ten. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (R. 35') caught Young Boy's Christopher Martins with an excessive challenge and was shown the red. Having the numerical advantage, Young Boys levelled the scoreline through Moumi Ngamaleu (66') before completing the comeback through Theoson Siebatcheu (90+5') deep into stoppage time. The win sits Young Boys on top of Group F, with 3 points and a G.D. of +1 after 1W, 0D & 0L. Manager David Wagner will aim for at least a point at Gewiss Stadium. The 49-year-old is expected to adopt the 4—4—2 formation with the attacking duo of Theoson Siebatcheu and Meschack Elia. Young Boys will face Villarreal on October 20 at the Stadion Wankdorf.

The UEFA Champions League returns with the UCL Group F fixture, BSC Young Boys vs. Manchester United, coming under focus at 17:45 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, September 14 at the Stade de Suisse. This will be the 67th season of Europe's most prestigious tournament and the 30th edition since its rebranding as the iconic UEFA Champions League. Furthermore, it is the first episode since 1965 to abolish the away goal rule. The rule now runs counter to its original purpose as, in fact, it now dissuades home teams – especially in first legs – from attacking, said UEFA President, Aleksander Čeferin.

On Tuesday, hosts BSC Young Boys will have every reason to attack the three-time UEFA Champions League winner, Manchester United, as they search for their first few points in Group F. Young Boys share the group with Atalanta, Villarreal and, of course, Manchester United. BSC Young Boys are 3rd in the Swiss Super League. The club makes an entry into this contest of Champions unbeaten across all competitions: WWWDW. On Saturday, they picked FC Zurich apart in a 4-0 win on home soil. Manager David Wagner hopes the wheels of fortune will spin in his favor on Tuesday, knowing his side's poor history against United. In the qualifying round against Ferencvaros, he selected a conventional 4—4—2 formation with a forked attack consisting of Meschack Elia and Theoson Siebatcheu. A similar shape with the same personnel is expected on Tuesday. While Young Boys need no introduction to Cristiano Ronaldo, the new and fledgling partnership between Maguire and Varane could present a ripe opportunity for the duo of Siebatcheu and Meschack Elia to exploit.
