We are underway at the Stade de Suisse, where the hosts start the action.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League clash between Young Boys and Valencia, where both sides are looking for their first victory in the group stages this season.
Defeated by Manchester United and Juventus, Young Boys are yet to pick up a point in the group and a positive result this evening is required to boost the hopes of securing third place and the Europa League football that comes with it. Meanwhile, Valencia are looking to kick their campaign into form following just one victory in 11 matches across all competitions.
Young Boys XI: Marco Wolfli; Kevin Mbabu, Sandro Lauper, Steve Von Bergen, Loris Benito; Miralem Sulejmani, Djibril Sow, Sekou Sanogo, Christian Fassnacht; Roger Assale, Guillaume Hoarau.
Young Boys subs: Dario Marzino, Michael Aebischer, Thorsten Schick, Moumi Nicolas Ngamaleu, Leonardo Bertone, Ulisses Garcia, Jean-Pierre Nsame.
Valencia subs: Jaume Domenech, Francis Coquelin, Jeison Murillo, Toni Lato, Ruben Vezo, Daniel Wass, Kevin Gameiro.
The two teams are heading onto the field ahead of the Champions League anthem and the start of the game.
Young Boys need to be more creative in the second period and should put Gabriel under pressure, as the former Arsenal man is on a yellow card and struggling in his battle against Hoarau. At the other end, Rodrigo and Batshuayi need to work harder to put the hosts' defence under pressure as it has often been too easy.
Batshuayi's well-taken goal is the difference at the interval after Young Boys were unable to capitalise on their strong start. Valencia settled into the match after taking the lead but they are still not looking comfortable, with Marcelino likely to want more from his side.
The two sides will face off once again two weeks time at the Mestella but return to domestic action first. Young Boys will look to extend their lead at the top of the Swiss Super League against Sion, while Valencia will hope to bring an end to their worrying run with victory against Athletic Bilbao.
Thanks for joining our coverage today. Until next time, goodbye.
