Young Boys form and stats

Home games in the Super League have been a walk in the park for Young Boys so far, with 20 points won from 8 matches; 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Young Boys has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade de Suisse. We remember; it was Basel.

In their previous game, the manager G. Seoane led his Young Boys to a defeat in the Super League match away at Basel. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de Suisse. Preceding that match was a Europa League defeat to Porto (1-2).

Luzern form and stats

Luzern have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-1-5 (8 played). With the Luzern losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Luzern have lost on their last two travels.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus St. Gallen with 1-4 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Zurich wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

The attacking power of Luzern when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Luzern have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
