It's no vacation for neither Young Boys nor Basel as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Basel's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Basel have performed like this: Played eleven matches resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 19-22 (scored/conceded).

Young Boys form and stats

Seven points from three Super League home games is a great start for Young Boys, who are hoping to build on that form here at STADE DE SUISSE Wankdorf Bern. Two home wins in a row for Young Boys bring valid hopes of a third.

Young Boys lost their last game at Porto after a 1-2 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory in the Swiss Cup match versus Freienbach with a 11-2 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Young Boys have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won 1 time, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Young Boys are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Thun awaits in three days.

Goals decide football matches and Young Boys are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Young Boys have only let in 1 goal at home.

Basel form and stats

Basel are yet to lose a point on their Super League travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games. The fact that Basel have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It’s been three wins in a row for Basel on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The supporters enjoyed Basel's previous game versus Krasnodar, a Europa League 5-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away Swiss Cup victory against Meyrin with the score of 3-0.

Basel are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of two matches.

After this away game Basel return home for a Super League game against Zurich. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Basel alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (10 from 3 played). As opposed to that, Basel have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 6 wins for Young Boys, 3 draws and 1 win for Basel. Over 2,5 goals: 7 times; under 2,5 goals: 3 games.
