Young Boys vs Luzern Prediction & Betting tips
In autumn 2018, the successful title defense of the Young Boys from Bern has already become apparent. No other team in Switzerland was able to show the persistence of the Young Boys. The issue of consistency was a big problem for many teams throughout the season. Performance fluctuations were seen again and again and thus the current situation before the last matchday is not surprising. The tension is hard to beat, because before the last 90 minutes of the season are the third in the table from Lucerne and the table tennis from Zurich just separated by three points. Accordingly, there are countless possibilities which three teams may cheer on Saturday night. Both place three, four and five will result in a ticket to Europe. Third place is in great demand, after all, this means a fixed place in the group stage. The FC Lucerne has this position in his own hands, but a difficult task in front of the chest – after all, the Häberli-Eleven guest of the champions. At the Stade de Suisse, the match between the Young Boys and Lucerne takes place!
The all-important question will be how much power – and also pleasure – do the Young Boys still have? During the week, there was a very poor performance in the aspens of FC Sankt Gallen and a well-deserved 1: 4 defeat to cope. Does Master really want to say goodbye to the summer break with this face? But the fact is that Lucerne coach Thomas Häberli was an absolute crowd pleaser in Bern. At the Young Boys he celebrated his greatest success as an active. Now he could fix the ticket to Europe. In contrast to third place (fixed in the group stage), the fourth and fifth must master the difficult path through the qualification. The game starts on Saturday evening at 18 o’clock.
Young Boys:
Spielverderber from the point of view of FC Sankt Gallen was definitely Marco Wölfli on Wednesday. The YBB final keeper parried a penalty in the closing stages of Tranquillo Barnetta, before the former Swiss international was exchanged moments in his last home game for FC Sankt Gallen. Nevertheless, the Young Boys were a pleasant guest in the last home game of “Quillo”. The defeat in the kybunpark was not necessarily to be expected, because despite the table situation, the Seoane-Elf presented in recent weeks again in a stronger state. In the three games before, there were no less than 13 hits from the towering offensive to cheer. However, the aspens did not work together and the last conviction was lacking in many moments.
Not only the fans are expecting another face on Saturday evening against FC Luzern. After the game, there will definitely be reason to celebrate. First, the Champions Cup will be presented to the players again, before Captain Steve von Bergen is adopted. The veteran finishes his career with this game and certainly wishes a similar farewell to Tranquillo Barnetta on Wednesday night. However, his team-mates have to increase significantly in order to win the career.
Luzern:
One year ago, YBB champion Gerardo Seaone was still on the bench at FC Luzern. However, the central Swiss will not be able to expect help from the former head coach. The starting position is still positive for the “FCL” before the last game. The change of coach in February has paid off. Lucerne took a risk with Thomas Häberli, after all, the longtime YBB professional in the coach business was still a no-name and previously worked only as an assistant coach. But also in the first row he was able to convince and collected in 16 competitive games 29 points (slightly positive 7-3-6 balance sheet).
During the week, FC Luzern prevailed sovereign against their direct rival FC Zurich before their home crowd. The 3-0 win could have been even higher.
Lucerne has to be convincing abroad, as despite a balanced 7-3-7 record, they have only won one in the last five away matches. With a full success on the artificial turf in the Stade de Suisse Lucerne would have the third place fix in the bag. Winger Ruben Vargas, who is on the grocery list at the Young Boys, wants to be a party crasher and is convinced that Lucerne can win the game.
