The reigning European champions have made a dream start to their Champions League defence this season, as Man City already sit three points clear at the top of the standings after two rounds of matches. They face another interesting clash on the road this week, as Young Boys will have the home field advantage.
Man City already appear to have one foot in the next round of the Champions League, as they have won each of their two opening matches in Group G. City have already scored an impressive six goals, and they have conceded just twice. They showcased all of their ability on matchday two, as they landed a very professional victory on the road against RB Leipzig.
Young Boys will present a more defensive test in the competition this week, as the Swiss side are battling for the second qualifying position. They come into this showdown after going tow matches in the Champions League without a win, while they have scored just three times and allowed a joint-high of five goals in Group G.
City’s unbeaten record in the Champions League deserves a lot of respect ahead of this fixture, as they have gone 15 matches without a defeat. Over that period, they have scored ten wins, and been held to just five draws. Only one Premier League team has enjoyed a longer unbeaten run, as Man United went 25 games without defeat between 2007 and 2009.
Young Boys have a poor defensive record in the Champions League, as no side has played more fixtures in the competition without having kept a clean sheet. At present, the Swiss side have gone 14 matches without keeping a shut out. Over that period, they have allowed 29 goals, meaning that they are averaging 2.1 goals against per game.
This will be a first meeting between City and Young Boys. However, the Swiss side will take confidence from the fact that they picked up a 2-1 win in the Champions League against Man United on the previous occasion that they hosted a Premier League side.
City look very hard to take on this week, as they look extremely good value to extend their unbeaten record to 16 matches in the Champions League. A victory would also see Pep Guardiola achieve his longest unbeaten run in the competition.
