This could be an interesting match as Servette have their presumed home advantage while Young Boys are ahead 8 points in the Super League table.

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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 19-8-10 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.

Young Boys form and stats

As the visiting team in Super League matches, Young Boys have produced an overall stat of 4-4-4 so far.

As you can tell from the result, the match against St. Gallen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Goalkeeper David von Ballmoos made a total of six saves, making him a hero against St. Gallen. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. As mentioned above, Young Boys drew the match against St. Gallen. Manager G. Seoane brought on Guillaume Hoarau to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
