The visiting Young Boys side should be favourites in this visit to Servette, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.

The visiting Young Boys played their last game only four days ago, a Swiss Cup match.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Boys have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 23-4-7 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
