Barcelona vs. Young Boys preview  

Barcelona's 100% record in La Liga games came to a surprise end of the weekend with the Catalan side falling to a 4-2 defeat to Villarreal on Saturday night. 

Hansi Flick's side are still sitting pretty at the top of the table, having won seven of their eight league games so far, three points clear of defending champions Real Madrid, who dropped points at Atletico on the weekend. 

The Spanish side will be looking to get back to winning ways on Tuesday night for their first home game of the Champions League this season and are in need of a win in the competition after falling to a surprise defeat to Monaco in their opening game a fortnight ago. 

Young Boys make the daunting trip to Barcelona having won just two of their last five matches in all competitions, a run that includes a 3-0 hammering at home by Aston Villa in their Champions League opener a fortnight ago. 

Patrick Rahmen, who, in the summer, took over a side who have won six of the last seven Swiss titles, currently has his team sitting second bottom of the league table, with the two-time defending champions having won just one of their eight games so far and already 11 points off the pace. 

The Swiss have won their last four away games in all competitions, though, ahead of their trip to Spain this week. Two have come against lower league opposition in the cup, but one was a notable 1-0 win at Galatasaray to book their place in the league phase of the Champions League. 

Tuesday night's match will be the first ever meeting between the two sides. 

Barcelona vs. Young Boys betting tips 

Robert Lewandowski has continued his good relationship with Hansi Flick from their days together at Bayern Munich, with the Pole having scored seven goals in nine games for Barcelona this season, making him the club's top goalscorer so far.

Sandro Lauper, the Young Boys midfielder, has been on the receiving end of more yellow cards than any other player for either side this season, having already collected four. 

The odds of Barcelona winning, Lewandowski scoring, and Lauper being carded have been priced by Paddy Power at 5/1, which looks to be a safe bet.
