2nd position in the Super League table for Young Boys so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 5th-placed Zürich visits STADE DE SUISSE Wankdorf Bern.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Zürich have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Young Boys form and stats
Young Boys, who have the most points (29) at home in Super League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super League with 9 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses. The Young Boys fans aren't used to losing league-games here at STADE DE SUISSE Wankdorf Bern and will expect new points from this game. Young Boys has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat.
Young Boys manager G. Seoane and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus St. Gallen (placed 1st) in the Super League. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Lugano (1-2).
A goal frenzy last time out for Young Boys, with a total of 6 goals in the match against St. Gallen. Fun stuff to watch! The Young Boys goalkeeper David von Ballmoos was crucial in the match against St. Gallen last time out, making six saves. The hometeam coach G. Seoane made a successful contribution in the game against St. Gallen, bringing on Guillaume Hoarau who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw. A painful moment in the game against St. Gallen was the missed penalty kick from Guillaume Hoarau in the 90th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
