1st Prediction for FC Barcelona vs BSC Young Boys: FC Barcelona to win-1.07 with Myriadplay sports
Barcelona are a pretty sure thing to beat BSC Young Boys on October 1st. Their early form has been impressive under Hansi Flick apart from the loss to Monaco, but they should take care of their Swiss rivals and get their first win in the Champions League.
2nd Prediction for FC Barcelona vs BSC Young Boys: FC Barcelona to win and Total Goals to be over 4.5-2.36 with Betarno
Barca should comfortably take care of BSC Young Boys, and they should be capable of doing it in some style as well. If you fancy them to win easily on October 1st, why not look at the Barca to win and over 4.5 goals scored market.
3rd Prediction for FC Barcelona vs BSC Young Boys: Barcelona to win at Halftime/Fulltime-1.35 with No Bonus Sports
Hansi Flick’s team should be more than capable of dominating this game from start to finish against much inferior opposition so Barca to win at half time and full time makes for an appealing bet for those that fancy Barca to win.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-to-Head
Both sides lost their opening League Phase games of this season’s Champions League, but you would fully expect FC Barcelona to get their first win on the board on October 1st against BSC Young Boys.
Hansi Flick’s men have been imperious domestically so far this season, winning all 6 of their League games. Barca have scored 22 goals in those 6 games, conceding 5 and sit on top of La Liga. Their only blip so far has been the 1-2 loss to Monaco, when an early red card for Eric Garcia seriously curtailed their chances.
BSC Young Boys have had a poor start to the season. They have already lost 3 times out of their opening 7 League games, as well as the 0-3 loss to Aston Villa on matchday 1 of the Champions League. They are currently 9th in the Swiss Super League with just 6 points from 7 matches.
Barca may have lost to Monaco on the opening week, but I fully expect them to comfortably dismiss their Swiss opponents on matchday 2 and get their Champions League campaign back on track.

Probable lineups FC Barcelona vs BSC Young Boys
FC Barcelona will more than likely line up in their preferred 4-3-3 formation, although Flick has also used a 4-2-3-1 shape at times this season. BSC have set up with either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 shape this season, although it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them go with a much more defensive line-up against Barcelona.
