Comments, predictions Barcelona vs Young Boys: Yamal's dance

Barcelona will be aiming to bounce back from their first La Liga defeat of the season when they resume their Champions League campaign with a home game against Swiss side Young Boys on Tuesday evening.

The Catalan giants lost 2-1 to Monaco in their opening group game earlier this month, while Young Boys suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Premier League side Aston Villa.

Latest Barcelona vs Young Boys squad information

Barcelona's list of absentees is long, with Eric Garcia added to the list due to suspension following the red card he received in the recent Champions League match against Monaco.

Seven more players are out through injury, including Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Frenkie de Jong is yet to feature this season due to an ankle problem, but there is some hope that he could be in the squad for this game.

There will be changes to the starting line-up from the La Liga clash with Osasuna, with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado and Inigo Martinez all available for inclusion.

As for Young Boys, Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer and Facinet Conte will not be involved in the match, but the Swiss side still have a strong squad for this European clash.

Joel Monteiro has been the standout performer for the team this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 13 appearances in all competitions, and he will surely start for the visitors.

Silvere Ganvoula also has four goals in 2024-25, and he could continue to lead the line, while Cedric Itten could be retained as a reserve despite scoring five goals this season.

Latest predicted lineup for Barcelona vs Young Boys

Barcelona:

Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Casado, Torre, Pedri; Lamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha

Young Boys:

Van Ballmoos; Athekame, Camara, Zoukrou, Hadjam; Niasse, Lauper; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Ganvoula

Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Young Boys

Barcelona started the 2024-25 La Liga season impressively with seven consecutive wins, but their winning streak came to an end on Saturday night, as they lost 4-2 to Osasuna.

This was the second defeat of the season for Hansi Flick's side, after they were also beaten 2–1 by Monaco in their Champions League opener, and in that match Barcelona saw Eric Garcia sent off in the first half.

There is huge pressure on Barcelona to bounce back on Tuesday night, but a serious injury crisis means the team will be without several key players again, and Flick deserves plenty of credit for his start in the face of these problems.

The Catalans reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, but they were unfortunately eliminated in the group stages of the 2022-23 and 2021-22 seasons.

Barcelona have not reached the semi-finals of the European Cup since 2018-19, while their last success in the competition came in 2014-15, which is a long time for a club of their size.

The Catalans have a potentially tough La Liga game against Alaves next weekend, but they simply cannot let their minds wander off the Champions League.

Young Boys, the Swiss champions, struggled in their opening game against Aston Villa on September 17, losing 0-3, and now face a very tough test when they travel to Barcelona.

The reigning Swiss champions will head into this game following a 1-0 defeat to Grasshoppers on Saturday, with the result leaving them in 11th place in the domestic standings, with just six points from eight games, and there is no denying that this has been a very difficult start.

Young Boys also participated in the Champions League group stage last season, finishing third in their group, which led to them reaching the Europa League playoffs, but they were beaten 4–2 on aggregate by Sporting Lisbon.

The Swiss side have never made it past the group stages of the Champions League, and it will be a big ask for them to make their mark in this competition, especially as they have a tough third group game in store when they host Italian giants Inter Milan.

However, Patrick Rahmen and his players can draw motivation from Barcelona's fitness issues, and they have had two big positive results in the competition this season, beating Galatasaray in both legs of the playoffs. Young Boys are certainly capable of making it a difficult game for Barcelona, ​​who will be without a number of players. However, it is difficult to see how the visitors can get a positive result, with Barcelona likely to be too strong for their Swiss opponents on Tuesday night.
