Young Boys made history last season by ending Basel’s reign and becoming Swiss champions for the first time since 1985/86. They’re now looking to make history again by reaching the Champions League group stage for the first time.
4/6 Young Boys 4 Dinamo Zagreb 4.75 with bet365
Dinamo Zagreb is the team standing in their path, a team Young Boys would rather avoid. Why? Because the Croatians are unbeaten in their last 16 UEFA Champions League qualifying matches overall. They made the CL group stage the last two times they had the opportunity to do so. In general, their recent record in qualifying is excellent.
On the other hand, Young Boys have been stopped in the CL playoff round for two years running and will be desperate to atone for those failures.

Young Boys – Dinamo Zagreb Prediction
Both teams are off to perfect starts in their domestic leagues, with Young Boys winning all four matches and Dinamo winning their three. There isn’t much separating these two sides on paper, so it’ll be interesting to see which one earns that lucrative Champions League group stage berth.
The first leg in Switzerland is scheduled to start on Wednesday, August 22 at 21:00 CET and will be played at Young Boys’ Stade de Suisse in Bern.
