Another interesting game in the Super League. Sion is in the 10th position after playing two matches. They welcome Young Boys who are placed 4th after two games.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Champions League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at CFR Cluj. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

19-14-10 (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 43 matches are 70-55 (scored/conceded).
