The first Super League game here at Stadion Wankdorf resulted in a draw. Last season Young Boys's home game statistics were 14 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat from 18 games.

Young shared the glory with Basel in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The attacker Meschack Elia was "man of the match" for Young with a rating of 8.03/10. Elia served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 6 of 6 times and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).

In the game before, an away victory in the Champions League match versus Ferencvaros with a 3-2 scoreline.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Young as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Manchester United are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Young Boys at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Zürich form and stats

Zürich are happy with their away performances in the Super League so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.

Zürich are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at St. Gallen (placed 5th). The attacker Antonio Marchesano got a match rating of 8.04 in that game. Marchesano scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 38 total). 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? As mentioned above, Zürich drew the match against St. Gallen. Manager A. Breitenreiter brought on Degnand Wilfried Gnonto to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Grasshopper.

Zürich create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 8 goals in 3 travels. As opposed to that, Zürich have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
