Young Boys vs Lugano Prediction & Betting tips
When was the championship fight in Switzerland the last time exciting? Probably the season 2012/13 must be cited here, as the now second division Grashoppers only three points behind FC Basel had. Since then, the championship has always been one-sided and decided early. The Swiss football fans are hoping for more than just excitement in the battle for Europe this season, but also for winning the title. The big hunted is the master of the capital! On the third matchday the Young Boys meet Lugano!
The champion receives the third-placed last season – but the difference in the table was huge. The Young Boys scored 91 points, while Lugano, with 46 points in the table, scored only half as many points on the credit side. However, the strong spring form Lugano has preserved and started heavily in the new season. Although the table after two matchdays has no significance, Lugano is currently leading the Super League. However, defending this position in the Stade de Suisse is a Herculean task. Play on artificial turf starts at 15 pm on Sunday.
Young Boys:
The Young Boys from Bern have been at the top of the league for 35 games of the season. On the second matchday YBB climbed the throne and could not be displaced. This number of league leaders will not reach the champion of the last two years this season. Already on matchday one, the Seoane team had to put a damper on themselves when they had to settle for a brave newcomer from Geneva with a 1-1 draw at home. The champions did not know how to shine on matchday two, but Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu’s goal paved the way for a narrow 1-0 away win at Xamax Neuchatel.
The Young Boys are not in top shape yet – but they can not be in top form. Even at this early stage of the season head coach Gerardo Seoane plague staff worries. In Neuchâtel, no fewer than seven players were missing against Xamax due to various injuries. With Miralem Sulejmani, Ali Camara or Christian Fassnacht also absolute achievers. In addition, top scorer Guillaume Hoarau had to leave after half an hour with thigh problems. In addition to all these failures, there were more departures during the summer like those of Djibril Sow or Kevin Mbabu.
Master comes along on the gum. National are these losses to compensate, but the Champions League play-offs (from August 20) will be a Herculean task. Seoane will not take any risks in the coming days and would prefer to do without a regular player once again. Due to the many failures but we see in the duel between the Young Boys and Lugano when tip on the home side no value. The victory is certainly realistic, but the risk seems far too big!
Lugano:
In the season 2016/17 Lugano took third place in the table. However, many experts did not believe that the club could repeat this feat in the near future. Two years later, the Black and Whites finished the Super League again in third place behind the two top teams from Bern and Basel. The Celestini team not only secured the international ticket, but are also firmly in the group phase of the UEFA Europa League. An exciting autumn awaits the threefold Swiss champion.
The club officials have learned from the mistakes of the past. In 2002, FC Lugano still had to declare bankruptcy. Despite guaranteed millions of revenue, the club holds back on the transfer market and has not issued a cent (equivalent to the cent in the Swiss currency). Transfer-free players were required to handle the double burden. Otherwise the trunk could be kept.
While teams like the Young Boys take the scepter in the hand and want to determine the game, Lugano often leaves the opponent the ball. After ball conquest know the Celestini protégé only the vertical way towards the opponent’s case. Counter-football par excellence is practiced – and on the first matchday in the Letzigrund Stadium of FC Zurich Lugano countered to a 4-0 success. Goalkeeper Noam Baumann kept his box clean on Matchday 2 in a goalless draw with FC Thun.
