Young Boys form and stats

Young participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 3rd qualifying round.

In general it's been a long time since Young tasted defeat here at Stadion Wankdorf, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.

Young enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Luzern's place. The match ended 4-3 with Meschack Elia (2) and Jordan Siebatcheu (2) scoring. Attacking player Jordan Siebatcheu bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 9.02 out of 10. Siebatcheu scored two goals, served one assist and hit one key pass. A very satisfying win for Young against Luzern last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 1-3. The win was secured through Jordan Siebatcheu's goal in the 90th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Young, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Luzern. Fun stuff to watch! A late climax in the match against Luzern as the winning goal came three minutes into overtime; scored by Jordan Siebatcheu.

A 0-0 draw away in the Champions League before that, with Slovan Bratislava the opponent.

Young are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 18 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 15, drew two and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus Grasshopper in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Wankdorf.
