13-15-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Young Boys when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 37 matches are 57-42 (scored/conceded).

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
