Xamax vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
Not much was to be seen of the Young Boys at the start – is it better against the weakened Xamax Neuchatel? The beginning of the new season, the master had certainly presented differently. A home game and also against the promoted from Geneva: Actually, everything was prepared for a successful debut in the new season, but in the end, the title holder had to settle for a draw. The result was not even undeserved. The freshman showed a surprisingly good performance, while the Berner performance always continued with continuous playing time.
The next attempt for a threesome takes the team of coach Gerardo Seoane now at Xamax Neuchatel. The hosts are in their second season after relaunching last year, with almost the immediate gear back to second division. Like the BSC, Neuchâtel got a draw on matchday one. The draw in Thun but was paid dearly, as two players flew off the pitch, which is why the already impaired by injury squad is still thinned. In Xamax Neuchatel against Young Boys, the tip includes an away win because of the personal situation of the hosts and their generally weaker squad.
Xamax Neuchatel:
The life insurance with the Neuchâtelers is apparently once again this season Raphael Nuzzolo. The 36-year-old Oldie scored the best scorer of the Challenge League Xamax two years ago in the Super League and was in the previous year with 14 goals again the best scorer in the ranks of Neuchatel and fourth best executor in the Super League. Nuzzolo seamlessly made these achievements last weekend and contributed a double brace to the 2-2 draw in Thun. However, a sword of Damocles hangs over him in the form of a barrier.
The reason is already a long time back and goes back to the relegation against FC Aarau. At that time, the offensive player was carried away to a spitting attack, which he was punished with a ban of four games. The attacking player has already played one game in the second leg of the relegation, but Xamax has lodged an objection against the other three, which may be decided before the match.
If Nuzzolo should fail, this would currently be particularly unfavorable: Coach Joel Magnin, who was active as a player and in the role of the junior coach at the next opponent, namely go out slowly the staff options. With Pietro Di Nardo in midfield and new signing Taulant Seferi in the storm, formerly FC Winterthur, received in the draw in Thun two players a yellow-red card and can not accumulate. There are also some injured as Janinck Kamber in defense or Samir Ramizi in the midfield.
The fact that Magnin was engaged in the summer is again not only a coaching staff, but also represents a change in the club’s philosophy. The 48-year-old is a proven youth coach and should make a radical rejuvenation of the team. For this reason, his predecessor Stéphane Henchoz had to go, despite successful relegation, because the club officials trust Magnin this task better. The development of a training club at the three-time champions show various lending transactions, for example in the form of the 21-year-old defender Leo Seydoux from the BSC or the one year younger offensive player Maren Haile-Selassie from FC Zurich. If the bookies keep their prediction right in the duel between Xamax Neuchatel and the Young Boys, Neuchatel will face a probable home defeat.
Young Boys:
Little masterly was the idea on the first day on the side of Young Boys. The title holder of the last two years was extremely difficult against an admittedly clever playing starter from Geneva. In the end, Bern had to be quite satisfied with the 1-1, as the newcomer especially in the second half was the game-determining team. The only goal Nicolas Ngamaleu contributed after only five minutes. The Cameroonian has met at least once in eight of his last ten appearances. However, otherwise disappointed the much-vaunted offensive department of the BSC. This set in the last season with 99 hits on a new historic record in the Super League, but against Servette she did not come up to speed. Striking were especially the problems in Umschaltspiel. A drawback that can certainly be explained by the departures in the summer.
So, inter alia, national player Kevin MBabu was delivered to Wolfsburg and his replacement Jordan Lotomba could set significantly less impetus in the game forward. The lack of Djibril Sow, now at Eintracht Frankfurt, made a negative impact in the offensive game. In addition, the champion in the defense was unusually vulnerable, and this was also reformed. Without the defensive boss Steve van Bergen, who ended his career, the back-team seemed less secure compared to last year.
In addition, the injury of Fabian Lustenberger was another problem against Geneva. The 31-year-old returned after twelve seasons for Hertha BSC the Spree his back and celebrated against Geneva his shortened debut. Against Xamax should the veteran, who immediately got the role of captain, but be fit again. In view of the defense line, which is obviously still in the process of finding out, Xamax Neuchatel vs. Young Boys the odds for a mutual goal also interesting.
