Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi will expect a victory over Young Boys

- Young Boys are bottom of Champions League after two heavy defeats
- Inter followed away draw at Man City with victory over Crvena zvezda
- Recommended bet: Inter/Inter in Half Time/Full Time

Young Boys have yet to score a goal in the Champions League this season, having been beaten 3-0 at home by Aston Villa and then 5-0 away at Barcelona.

Their nightmare set of opening fixtures continues with the visit of Serie A champions Inter, who are ninth in the table with four points on the board after a 0-0 draw with Manchester City and a 4-0 victory over Crvena zvezda

Team news

Young Boys’ Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer and Tanguy Zoukrou are all injured and will be unavailable on Wednesday.

Inter picked up injuries to Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi during their 1-0 win at Roma on Sunday.

Simone Inzaghi could give rests to his strike duo Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, with Marko Arnautovic and Mehdi Taremi waiting in the wings.

The stats

Young Boys are one of only four teams who have failed to score in this fledgling Champions League campaign.

Inter are one of only six teams who have yet to concede a goal in the Champions League, with Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Atalanta and Arsenal also keeping two clean sheets.

Five of the eight goals conceded by Young Boys in the Champions League have come in the first half.

Inter have won each of their last four games, scoring 11 goals and keeping two clean sheets.

Prediction

Young Boys have made some changes since their last Champions League appearance, but it seems unlikely that they will impact their chances of containing Inter.

Patrick Rahmen has been sacked as manager and caretaker coach Joel Magnin tasted victory in his first game in charge at the weekend, as his side beat Luzern 2-1.

Young Boys had lost three consecutive games before Rahmen was dismissed, with Swiss rivals Grasshoppers and Basel tasting victory either side of that heavy Champions League defeat to Barcelona.

Since losing to local rivals AC Milan, Inter have found form, winning four consecutive matches, with Martinez back among the goals alongside the in-form Thuram in attack.

Inter have scored before the break in three of those wins and with Young Boys conceding a lot of early goals in this competition, it seems likely that the Italians will secure victory by half-time.
