Young Boys vs St. Gallen Prediction & Betting tips
The quarterfinals in the Swiss Cup are coming! Super League teams meet each other in this round. In this article we take a look at the match between Young Boys and St. Gallen. Both teams won their previous cup rounds. The advantages lie in this game on the side of the Bernese. The direct encounter in October saw the Young Boys win 6: 1. Whether this cup match will be so clear is questionable. At least we assume that there will be a door spectacle. After all, fall on average 3.2 goals, if one of the two teams is on the court. The game will take place on Wednesday in Bern. Kick-off is at 19:15 in the Stade de Suisse.
Young Boys :
At the moment there are English weeks for the captains. In addition to the Cup, the Bernese are still in the Europa League, although they gambled with the recent defeat against Partizan European wintering. Thus, the cup is even more important! The Bernese Young Boys lead the table of the Super League after 16 rounds with seven points sovereign. After a 2-1 win against FC Zurich on Matchday 2, the Young Boys face off against the eastern Swiss side if they want to break into the semi-finals. The captains were able to win their cup rounds so far (3: 0, 4: 0, 3: 0). Particularly against the city rivals Breitenrain a clear victory could be retracted. A small downer here is that the district club deny two leagues under the Young Boys the championship games. Therefore, FC St. Gallen is the first Super League opponent of the Young Boys in the Cup. The two teams have already met twice this season. Especially the game in Bern caused a sensation. With a 6: 1, the eastern Swiss were sent home. It was remarkable that it was up to the 55th minute 2: 1. In the following 20 minutes the offensive power of the Bernese could strike and increase the score by four goals.
The goal-scoring is also evident when looking at the table. On average, the Bernese meet twice per game. Three of the top ten goalscorer in the league are Miralem Sulejmani (6 goals), Roger Assale (7 goals, 4 assists) and Jean Pierre Nsame (9 goals, 3 assists). In addition to these top scorers, Guillaume Hoarau – last year’s top scorer of the Young Boys – returns to the team after a long injury. Thus, coach Adi Hütter can draw on the full. Therefore, we assume that YB will score at least two goals in this match. In addition, the chances of winning the Cup this season are realistic and after more than 30 years without a title, the captains are condemned to victory.
St. Gallen :
St. Gallen is currently on the strong fourth place in the table. The eastern Swiss were kidnapped last weekend in the Oberland against Thun three points. Thun was clearly superior over the whole game. In addition, the Thun goalkeeper pummeled in both hits the St. Gallen. Thus, one can not really speak of a playful victory. The bottom line is in football but only the points. With this victory they were able to weaken the downward trend – in November, so far no point could be won.
In the Cup, the St. Galler could win all games scarce. Against the clearly weaker opponents, the Eastern Swiss always made great efforts. The round of sixteen was decided only in the 80th minute. This against the underclass Delemont from the 4th league. The question remains whether YB can be kept up to 90 minutes.
