Thun vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
The Swiss Super League was one of the first leagues in Europe to stop playing at the end of February. Consequently, twelve regular game days will be on the program in the coming weeks until the beginning of August, before it is clear who will win the championship in the Alpine Republic and which club will have to take second place.
As of now, this fate would hit FC Thun, who currently has four points behind the saving bank as the bottom of the ranking. Whether something changes during the week can be doubted, since Thun meets the young boys at home. According to the odds of the best bookmakers, the role of favorites in this small derby – both cities are only a good half hour away by car – is clearly assigned to the defending champion.
Incidentally, this assessment coincides with the impression that the teams left last weekend as part of the first match day after the restart. While the Bernese Oberlanders lost the important duel against their direct competitor Xamax Neuchatel 1: 2 and thus took over the red lantern, the yellow-blacks won against FC Zurich and thus stay in the lead from Sankt Gallen.
In order to identify the right tip before the duel Thun against Young Boys, it is worth taking a look at the extremely weak home record of the red-whites, who just won two of their twelve games in their own stadium and instead fell seven times short. In connection with the higher quality of the Seoane team, there is a lot to be said for a confident away win for the title contender on Tuesday evening.
Thun:
FC Thun remains the biggest disappointment of the current Super League season. In the past season, coach Marc Schneider’s team still enthused with a carefree and fresh style of play, which brought them to fourth place in the final table and thus to qualification for the Europa League, the Bernese Oberland 2019/20 must fear for relegation.
After 24 match days, the red-whites adorn the last place in the classification. The cup finalist from the previous year only had 19 points on the credit side. The record of five wins, four draws and already 15 losses underscore the disappointing interim conclusion. Even more worrying is the fact that the backlog on the saving bank has already increased to four points.
The Thun people therefore urgently need a sense of achievement to prevent the super-Gau in the form of a relegation. If we believe the odds of the betting providers between Thun and the Young Boys on Tuesday evening, a positive result against the reigning title holder is rather unlikely.
This outsider role is due, among other things, to the poor yield in the home arena. With only nine points from twelve games, the red-whites are the weakest home team in the Super League. Seven games were lost. In addition, only FC Zurich conceded more goals at home than the bottom. For the Bernese Oberlanders, there were 25 goals received, more than two per match.
The compulsory break came for the Schneider-Elf at a very bad time, because immediately before the break the fourth of the previous year remained unbeaten in three consecutive league games and celebrated three wins from five games, including against FC Basel.
This improved condition was no longer visible at the first competitive game after the restart at Xamax Neuchatel at the weekend. Against the direct competitor for the relegation, it went down 1: 2, in which the Bernese Oberland once again revealed defensive problems. No wonder, because the bottom line is that no Swiss first division club conceded more goals than the FCT (48).
To make matters worse, Coach Schneider has to do without important players. For example, captain Marc Hedinger is still missing due to the consequences of a cruciate ligament rupture. Defenders Kevin Bigler and Miguel Rodrigues also have to pass. Added to this is the ban on Leonardo Bertone, who saw the yellow-red card at the weekend.
Young boys:
For the young boys, the goal in the 2019/20 season can only be championship. The yellow-blacks have already grabbed the title in the past two years and are now aiming for the hat trick. Strictly speaking, the Bernese are the new FC Basel, which had previously played the role of industry leader in the Alpine Republic for many years.
In the current season, however, Gerardo Seoane’s team is struggling with more resistance than, for example, last year. For the title contender, it is currently only enough for second place. The ranking is headed by FC St. Gallen, which plays a surprisingly strong role. FC Basel as a regular rival, however, are already eight points behind the top duo.
If it wasn’t enough to successfully defend the title in 2020, the main reason would be found quickly. So far, the Bernese have been on average traveling abroad at best. Four wins are four draws and four losses. The goal difference is even negative with 19 goals scored and 21 goals received.
Nevertheless, on Tuesday evening, we definitely trust the guests with significantly higher quality to make an improved appearance abroad. In any case, the restart was on schedule. At home against FC Zurich, the second in the table landed a 3-2 victory. After a 1: 2 half-time deficit, the Europa League participant showed morale and finally won thanks to two late goals (81st and 85th). Nsame became the match winner, with all three hits.
This emotional success in Zurich, coupled with the impression that the Seoane-Elf is at least physically or physically close to 100% and can still grow in the final phase of an encounter, supports us in the assumption that there is a difference between Thun and the Young Boys making a prediction that the yellow-blacks will score in both halves could pay off. With the exception of Sandro Lauper, all top performers should be operational.
