Young Boys have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against Roma. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!

This stadium uses grass, unlike Young Boys's home stadium. The visitors last 35 games on grass have ended in 15 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Young Boys, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.

Young Boys form and stats

Young's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.

Young Boys are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss both home and away. In general it has been a productive period now for Young as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games.

It's the second away game in a row for Young, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Lausanne Sport in the Super League last time out. Prior to that result Young won their away game at CSKA Sofia in the Europa League. The scoreline was 1-0.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Young when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Luzern.

Young have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. Young's manager G. Seoane has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 0 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
