This could be an interesting match as Zürich have their presumed home advantage while Young Boys are ahead 19 points in the Super League table.
It's no vacation for neither Zürich nor Young Boys as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It should be mentioned that Young Boys play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Young Boys on grass are 15 victories, 9 draws and 11 defeats from 35 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 66-55. You can compare this with overall results below.
Young are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Zürich form and stats
7 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Zürich, who have the most conceded goals (28) at home in Super League, have to build on here at Stadion Letzigrund in the Super League. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadion Letzigrund.
Before that, Zürich played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Neuchatel Xamax.
As you see from the result above, Zürich suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Novem Baumann had a busy but productive day in the Basel match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
There will be little rest for Zürich after this match as they are travelling to Lugano for a Super League game in only three days.
The Zürich fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 22 goals in 14 league matches. Zürich are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (28 from 14 played).
Young Boys form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (69) in Super League, on their Super League travels is 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
Impressive finishing from Jean-Pierre Nsame, Meschack Elia, Christopher Martins Pereira and Christian Fassnacht secured the home win 4-2 against Servette in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Basel wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Servette was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Young are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 22 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Young struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.
