Liepāja host the first leg in this deciding Europa Conference League 2nd Qualifying Round game. Young Boys will try their very best to bring a solid result back to STADE DE SUISSE Wankdorf Bern before the return leg in 8 days.
This field uses the playing surface grass, unlike Young Boys's home stadium. The last 43 games by the guests on grass have seen 17 wins, 13 draws and 13 losses.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
This has all the signs of an interesting fixture with lots of action and energy as both teams are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!
