After winning their domestic league comfortably by finishing 31 points above their nearest rivals, Swiss giants Young Boys gear up for Champions League action this season under new head coach David Wagner. However, Wagner will be under pressure to perform here following a horror spell at German side Schalke 04 and a trip to Slovan Bratislava represents a very tough assignment. However, there is no need for Young Boys to go all-out for the victory here, knowing that they still have the second leg to come in Switzerland. The hosts would love to gain a first leg lead, but will also be well aware of the threat Young Boys pose going forward and may have to reign in their offensive play at times, ensuring they have adequate numbers back to avoid being hit on the counter attack. With this in mind, under 2.5 goals scored looks the smart play in this first leg.

在以领先对手31分的成绩轻松赢得国内联赛冠军后，瑞士青年男孩队在新任主教练大卫·瓦格纳的带领下准备参加本赛季的冠军联赛。然而，在经历了沙尔克04的可怕经历后，瓦格纳将面临着在这里表演的压力，而前往斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发将是一项非常艰巨的任务。然而，小男孩们没有必要为了胜利而全力以赴，他们知道他们还有第二回合的比赛要去瑞士。主队很想在首回合领先，但也会很清楚Young Boys在前进中所构成的威胁，有时他们可能需要控制进攻，确保他们有足够的后援，以避免在反击中被击中。考虑到这一点，在第一回合的比赛中，2.5粒以下的进球看起来是明智的。
