Young Boys will host Macabi Haifa in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff round at the Wankdorf Stadium on Wednesday. The two teams met in Haifa in the first leg last week. That game ended in a goalless draw. So it all comes down to how they perform in the second leg on Wednesday. Both teams did not play in their respective leagues over the weekend. Naturally, they will head into the decisive match well-rested. Young Boys have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their 2023-24 season. This includes a streak of three wins and playing three draws in six games across all competitions. Young Boys, were eliminated from the playoffs of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season on penalties and will look to improve upon that performance here. Youn Boys is the reigning Swiss Champion.
On the other hand, Maccabi Haifa has suffered just one defeat in their nine competitive games thus far. Maccabi booked their place in the group stage of the competition through the playoffs last season and will look to repeat the feat. The Greens have suffered just one defeat in their seven games in the Champions League qualifiers and will look to build on this form in this match. However, when they face the Swiss Champions, it will be a tough game for the Israelis. Naturally, it can be either of the two’s game. Let us see who has the last laugh in Switzerland
