There is still everything to play for on Thursday when Young Boys and Slovan Bratislava meet in the second leg of their Europa League Playoff qualifier clash at Stadion Wankdorf. The winner of this tie between YB and the Sky Blues will enter the main draw, while the loser will be transferred to the Conference League. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Both these sides exited last season’s Champions League after failing to earn a point in their eight League Phase matches.
Young Boys have the advantage here, 1-0 up, thanks to a first-half Chris Bedia strike in Bratislava. Notably, while they had just 44% possession in the first leg, they did create the better quality chances.
Given their home record, it’s unsurprising that YB are now the favourites to progress. They are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive games at home (W9 D2) and were last beaten at this venue by Red Star Belgrade in last season’s UCL.
Meanwhile, despite recording 14 shots at goal last week, Slovan Bratislava were unable to find a breakthrough and now have it all to do.
The Sky Blues have evidently prioritised qualifying for Europe above their domestic league during the early stages of this season. They were bitterly unlucky to drop out of the UCL, losing to Kairat on penalties.
The concern for the visitors, though, is that they have not won an away game as yet this season across all competitions (D3 L1).

Our BSC Young Boys vs SK Slovan Bratislava Prediction
After scoring an early goal last week, Young Boys produced a solid defensive display to protect their lead and remain in control of their own destiny. Given their excellent home record, they are understandably clear favourites to progress.
Slovan will be kicking themselves for not being able to make the most of their dominance in Bratislava. We feel that they will struggle to overturn this deficit this week on the road, where they have failed to win a game as yet this season. Our Young Boys vs Slovan Bratislava prediction is Young Boys wins the match.
