The team from the Swiss city of Bern became the author of one of the main sensations of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. Young Boys had Bayer as a rival, which was defeated twice by the Swiss champion. First, Gerardo Seoane’s wards shot the rival at home (4:3) and then secured a guest victory in Leverkusen (2:0), indicating an obvious crisis of the pharmacists. But the trip to Amsterdam turned out to be a complete failure for the young guys (0:3) and chances of reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament sharply rushed to zero. In the last match of the Swiss championship, Young Boys could not beat St. Gallen away (2:2).
Olympiacos managed to knock out PSV from the tournament in the first stage of the Europa League playoffs, which they defeated with a total score of 5:4, for which few could predict. In the first game against today’s opponent at home, the Piraeus team lost 1:3. In the Greek championship the “red-whites” managed to get 21 victories in 26 rounds and only on February 14th suffered their first defeat for the entire season. In the last three matches guests won against Volos (2:1), Lamia (3:0) and Larisa (3:1). It should be noted the fantastic performance of the team in the defensive line, which conceded only 13 times. Today Vrusay, Papadopoulos, Semedu and Ba, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
