Predicted Lineups Inter Milan vs. Young Boys for UEFA Champions League

In the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match between Inter Milan and Young Boys, Inter is predicted to field a robust lineup despite the absence of key players Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Francesco Acerbi due to injuries. Coach Simone Inzaghi is expected to deploy Yann Sommer as the goalkeeper, supported by a back three consisting of Benjamin Pavard, Yann Aurel Bisseck, and Alessandro Bastoni. This defensive formation aims to capitalize on Young Boys' vulnerabilities, particularly given their recent struggles in conceding goals.

Inter's first two Champions League matches went mostly to plan with a 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade and a 0–0 draw at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City. The Nerazzurri are fresh off a 1–0 triumph over AS Roma in Serie A action over the weekend, but it wasn't without a couple of injuries to key players.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu and the veteran Francesco Acerbi were both forced off in the first half due to respective hamstring injuries. Both players are expected to return to the pitch by the middle of November.

Young Boys have failed to find the net in their European matches this season. Their inability to score against both Barcelona and Aston Villa underscores their difficulties in creating and converting chances against elite opposition. Given Inter's defensive strength and Young Boys' scoring woes, our Young Boys vs Inter Milan predictions indicate it is likely the Swiss side may struggle to get on the scoresheet once again.

The gulf in quality and form between the two teams suggests Inter Milan could dominate possession and control the tempo of the game, further limiting the hosts' opportunities to threaten their goal. This scenario increases the probability of a one-sided scoreline in favour of the Italian side.
