Young Boys form and stats

Home games in the Super League have been a walk in the park for Young Boys so far, with 41 points won from 15 matches; 13 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. The Young fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadion Neufeld and will expect new points from this game. Young Boys has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat.

In their previous game, the manager G. Seoane led his Young to a defeat in the Super League match away at Basel. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Neufeld. Before that, Young had a home game versus Thun which ended with a victory 4-0.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Miralem Sulejmani for missing a penalty kick versus Basel in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

There will be little rest for Young Boys after this match as they are travelling to Zurich for a Super League game in only three days.

Goals are plentiful at Stadion Neufeld in the league this season as Young has scored 43 goals here in 15 home games. From these home matches, Young have conceded only 12 goals.
