Young Boys vs Basel Prediction & Betting tips
With the Young Boys Bern and FC Basel, the two best teams of the last season will meet at the start of the season on the Swiss Super League on Saturday (22.07.) At 18:00. The reigning champion, Raphael Wicky, is starting a new schedule for the reigning champion from Basel. The current preparations are already promising. The Vizemeister from Bern wants to take another start with Adi Hütter to break through the dominance of the FCB, but looks back on some well-balanced performances in the test matches. The balance of forces can now be explored at the start of the season. We expect a balanced match with at least one goal on both sides.
Young Boys :
The young boys in Berne want to be at the top of the Super League this year and stay as long as possible in Europe and the Cup. The hopes finally to break the dominance of the FCB are certainly there, but of the championship no one speaks. Despite some well-known finishes, Sportchef Spycher was able to replace them with young and highly-talented players. Cheftrainer Adi Hütter is reluctant and hopes to keep FC Basel as long as possible in his squad.
The preparations went very well. Three of the five test games were lost. The Young Boys won the first defeat in the city derby against the third-placed FC Breitenrain Bern with 0: 1. In the second test the Hütter-Elf made it better and won 3-0 against the second-class Austrian team Wacker Innsbruck, before they beat the Russian first-team Akhmat Grozny a rough 1: 4-clapping. In the Watch Cup, an international soccer tournament in Switzerland, Berne first met Stoke City. The game could be kept open until the ninetieth minute before the decision was scored in the penalty shoot-out (2-2, 2: 3 n.E.). The second tournament match against Benfica Lisbon could then be won with confidence 5: 1, which secured the second place in the clock cup. In particular, the last two results show that Bern is also expected this season and the championship for Basel will not be a self-running.
Basel :
Since 2010 FC Basel have won the Super League and are thus the measure of the Swiss club football. However, champion Urs Fischer had to leave the club in the summer and was replaced by Raphael Wicky, who now wants to further refine the title. This is to succeed with a faster passport, other game systems and greater flexibility.
The preparations were extremely successful. Except only the test against the second-class FC Wil, which ended only with a goalless draw after the TSV 1860 Rosenheim was already beaten 4: 1. Subsequently, the Wicky-Elf won against the second-class Swiss team Neuchatel Xamax 2-0. However, the last two testparties are interesting. Against Athletic Bilbao the FCB won 3: 2, which was however by an early red card at the opponent was favored. Raphael Wicky’s elite confirmed the good performance only three days later against Sporting Lisbon, as this game was won by 3: 2. Seasonally, Basel have been undefeated for eight games. The final defeat of the FC, however, was the Stade de Suisse, the home stadium of Young Boys Bern, in which the outstanding game was played.
