Our prediction for the match Young Boys vs Atalanta
The "Bees" reaffirmed their status as leaders of Swiss football last season by defending their championship title. Meanwhile, in Italy, the "Goddess" returned to the elite by securing fourth place in the Serie A standings and triumphing in the Europa League, though they lost the Coppa Italia final.
In the summer, Young Boys appointed a new coach, Patrick Rahmen, who failed miserably and lasted only a few months. Even after his departure, the team has shown little improvement, exacerbated by a spate of injuries. This resulted in a dreadful start both domestically and in the Champions League. While they surprisingly eliminated Galatasaray in the qualifiers with two wins, they lost all four group stage matches, including a defeat to Shakhtar, who also had zero points before that game.
Atalanta underwent significant changes over the summer, acquiring several strong players, including Retegui, but losing Scamacca to injury and selling Koopmeiners. Initially inconsistent, the team has since improved, climbing to the top of Serie A. They remain unbeaten in the Champions League, albeit with goalless home draws against Arsenal and Celtic. However, they secured away victories against Shakhtar and Stuttgart.
