Young Boys vs Lugano

Young Boys and Lugano are set to trade tackles in a top-half Switzerland Super League encounter at the Stadion Wankdorf.

Young Boys are already lagging a whopping eight points behind Switzerland Super League pacesetters Zurich after picking up just two wins in their last four league outings (D1, L1). To reduce that gap, the hosts will hope to improve upon their indifferent three-game form at home (W1, D1, L1), with each match in that sequence seeing both teams on the scoresheet. Entertaining, end-to-end football could be on the table, given that two of Young Boys’ last three home top-flight meetings with Lugano have seen over 3.5 goals and both teams scoring. But even if they concede first, David Wagner’s men should have enough strength to bounce back, having avoided defeat in all three Super League home fixtures when falling behind this season (W2, D1).

In the meantime, Lugano’s form wobble down the final stretch of 2021 saw them register just one win from their last four top-flight fixtures (D1, L2), frustratingly conceding 3+ goals in both defeats in that period. The visitors’ hopes of getting back to winning ways in domestic action look unlikely, at least based on their underwhelming six-game form away from home (W2, D1, L3). Conceding first could prove detrimental to Lugano’s hopes of avoiding defeat here, as they’ve lost all three away league matches when falling behind this term. That said, the majority (67%) of their away league goals conceded this season have come beyond half-time (8/12).
