Young Men
The club is not showing very confident results this season. After 20 rounds in the Swiss Championship, Young Boys have 29 points on the balance sheet, which puts them in 6th place in the standings. The team is 14 points behind the leader and only 2 points behind the elimination zone. The club was eliminated from the national cup at the 1/16 final stage.
The Swiss player managed to get 9 points in 6 Europa League matches; Such results allow them to take 21st place in the overall competition table. However, the distance to the 25th step is only 2 points.
Lyon
Despite not having a very stable start to the season, the club is now showing confident results. Lyon, which collected 33 points after 18 weeks in Ligue 1, is in 4th place in the rankings. A team is separated from the 1st and 9th places by 10 points. The club reached the 1/8 final of the French Cup against Laval.
In the Europa League, the team shows generally standard results; The French collected 15 points in 6 rounds, which allowed them to take 1st place in the overall competition table. However, there are only 3 points separating Lyon from 10th place.
personal meetings
The clubs have never played each other in official matches.

The Europa League main stage 7th round match will be played between Braga and Nottingham on Thursday, January 22. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.
Braga
This season is not going well for the Portuguese. After 18 rounds of the championship, the club has 30 credit points on its balance sheet, which allows it to occupy 5th place in the tournament table. Although the team is only 1 point away from 4th place, the top three teams are already 12 or more points ahead. In the Portuguese Cup, Braga was eliminated by AD Fare in the 1/4 stage, and in the League Cup they were defeated by Vitoria in the final.
In the Europa League, the club’s results are a little more stable; After 6 weeks he has 13 points on the balance sheet, which allows him to take 7th place in the overall competition table. The distance to the leader is only 2 points.
nottingham
The team has still not fully recovered from a period of extreme instability at the beginning of the season (the firing of Nuno Esperito Santo and his subsequent replacement by Ange Postecoglou). Having collected 22 points in the Premier League after 22 weeks, Foresters is in 17th place in the rankings. The distance to the relegation zone is currently only 5 points. The club completed their performances in the FA Cup and League Cup with 1/32 and 1/16 finals respectively on their debut.
Forest ranked 11th in the Europa League with 11 points collected over 6 weeks. The distance to the required top 8 is 2 points.
personal meetings
The clubs have never played each other in official matches.
interesting facts
- Braga lost only 1/8 of its last home matches.
- Nottingham suffered 5 defeats in the previous 7 matches.
- Both teams scored in 5/6 of Braga’s previous matches.
To guess
Neither club is at its best at the moment, but they often score a significant number of goals in their matches. I will bet on both teams to score (at odds of 1.75 on the betting line).

The Europa League main stage 7th round match will be played between Feyernoord and Sturm on Thursday, January 22. The match will start at 19.45 Kyiv time.
Feyernord
Despite a good start to the season, the club is not producing very consistent results at the moment. In total, in 19 rounds in the Eredivisie, the team managed to collect 36 points and occupy the 2nd place of the tournament table. The distance to leader PSV is currently 16 points. Feyernord was eliminated from the national cup by Heerenveen in the 1/16 final stage.
The Netherlands could only collect 3 points in the 6 rounds of the Europa League and placed 30th in the tournament table. The distance to the required top 24 is already 4 points.
Storm
The Austrian team also performs slightly better. With 17 weeks left in the Bundesliga, the team ranks 3rd in the rankings with 28 points. But the distance to the leader is small – 3 points. In the Austrian Cup, Sturm reached the quarter-finals where they will face Altach.
In the Europa League, the Austrians could only collect 4 points, thus placing them in 29th place in the overall standings. The distance to the top 24 is 3 points.
personal meetings
The clubs last met each other in the Europa League group stage in 2022. Then in game 1 Feyernord won 6-0 and in game 2 Sturm achieved the minimum victory.
interesting facts
- Feyernord has only 2 wins in the last 12 matches.
- Sturm won only 1/5 of their previous away matches.
- Feyernord has not conceded a goal in 15 consecutive matches; Sturm, on the other hand, conceded a goal in each of the previous 6 matches.
To guess
Neither club is in very consistent form at the moment and they are having problems, especially in defence. I will bet that both teams will score (at odds of 1.66 according to bookmaker bets).

The Europa League main stage 7th round match will be played between Freiburg and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday, January 22. The match will start at 19.45 Kyiv time.
Freiburg
The season is not going well for the German team. The club, which has been behind in the Bundesliga for 18 weeks, ranks 8th with 24 points on its balance sheet. Currently, Freiburg is 9 points behind the first 4 regions. In the German Cup, the team advanced to the quarter-finals against the capital Hertha.
But in the Europa League the Germans look much more confident; After 6 rounds they already have 14 points, thanks to which the club takes 5th place in the overall tournament table. The distance to leader Lyon is currently only 1 point.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Their title defense isn’t going well for Israel’s current champions this season. The team collected 36 points at the end of 19 weeks in the national league, thus placing 3rd in the rankings. The distance to leader Beitar is currently 9 points. In the Israeli Cup, Maccabi managed to reach the quarter-finals.
Things are going very badly for the club in the European arena. At the end of 6 rounds, Maccabi is in the penultimate 35th place in the points rankings with 1 point. In fact, the Israelis no longer have a chance of making it to the play-offs.
personal meetings
The clubs have never played each other in official matches.
interesting facts
- Maccabi managed to keep a clean sheet in only 1/5 of the previous matches.
- Freiburg’s unbeaten streak at home continues for 13 consecutive matches.
- Maccabi had won only 1/8 of its previous away matches.
To guess
Taking into account the teams’ class differences and their previous performances in European cups, I will bet Freiburg to win with a -1.5 handicap (1.55 odds according to the betting company Betking).
