Thursday, Young Boys and Cluj face each other on behalf of the last day of the Europa League. The two teams are still in the race to qualify for the round of 16 but a draw is enough for the Young Boys to validate their ticket for the next round.
Champions of Switzerland and winners of the National Cup last year, the Young Boys were unable to play in the Champions League by failing in qualifying. Reversed in this C3, the Bern players started off badly by losing against Roma (2-1) and then drawing in Cluj (1-1). More convincing against Sofia (3-0 and 0-1), the Swiss were logically defeated by Roma last week (3-1). In the standings, they are in 2nd position with 2 points ahead of their opponent of the day. In the league, Gerardo Seoane’s men are leaders with 5 points ahead of their first pursuer. On Sunday, they won a third victory in a row against Lucerne (2-3).
For its part, Cluj occupies 3rd place in this group with 5 units taken during the first 5 days. Perhaps less efficient than last year when they took 1st place in their group ahead of Celtic, Rennes and Lazio, the Romanians just won their first match against Sofia (0-2). Then, they were hooked by the Young Boys (1-1), twice beaten by Roma (5-0 and 0-2) and again held in check by CSKA Sofia (0-0). In the league, Cluj struggles to be consistent. After losing at home against Arad (0-1), they went to revive at Lasi (0-2) on Sunday.
The Young Boys will not be able to count on the little-used Martins, Spielmann, Lauper and Petignat and on the former international Lustenberger. In addition, defender Camara is suspended following his red card received last Thursday. Last week, the formidable Nsame (5 goals in the league) scored his 5th goal in the competition.
For Cluj, the French Pereira and Omrani (ex OM), as well as the former Rennais Sylla, are the known figures of this team. Absent last week, the former Marseillais is back unlike the defender Cestor, injured, and the important Hoban, positive for the Covid.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
The two coaches are entitled to 5 substitutions.
Young Boys only lost one home game in 2020 to Roma.
Traditionally very strong at home, the Young Boys could win this match and ensure their qualification for the round of 16. Young Boys Victory!
