Zürich will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 13 points behind Young Boys.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Boys have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 19-8-10 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
