Zurich vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
In Switzerland, the 26th round of the Super League will take place this weekend. The Bernese Young Boys are guests at the Letzigrund and meet FC Zurich. YB won all matches in the second half of the season, extending their advantage over Basel to 16 points – but the reigning champions have played one less game. Nevertheless, the Young Boys are heading for the first title for over 30 years. The FCZ fights against third place – this would qualify for the qualification of the Europa League. The gap to Sankt Gallen is currently four points, with Zurich still facing a catch-up game against Basel.
The two teams met twice in the first half of the season. In Zurich, the game ended with a goalless draw. In the federal city, the city Zurich went by an own goal in the lead. Sulejmani and Assale turned the game in favor of the Bernese. Also in this round I expect a victory of the Young Boys. Unibet offers the highest odds on such a tip. I recommend playing potential bets with five units on corresponding betting odds.
FC Zurich:
The city Zurich have won the last two games. With the success in the Cup semi-final against city rivals GC FCZ secured the entry into the final. Brunner scored the winner in the 91st minute and put the Letzigrund in a state of intoxication. The cup winner of 2016 thus has the chance of a renewed success in this competition. The finale will take place on May 27 at the Stade de Suisse in Bern, against the Bernese Young Boys. The party will take place on artificial turf and in the home stadium of the Bernese, which the president of the FCZ after the announcement strongly criticized. After all, waived the federal state in recent years on the candidacy as a venue – Reason were the numerous riots of foreign fans around the stadium. Only when it was likely that the Young Boys in this final could be there, applied for Bern again as host.
After relegation in the 2015/16 season, the city of Zurich and rehabilitated the immediate resurgence with 85 points and 91 goals scored in 36 Challenge games. This march was possible because the FCZ had not cut the budget and thus had significantly greater financial resources available than their counterparts. In the ascent season, the Zurich establish immediately back in the top half of the table. The midfield of the Super League is very close to each other, this can change the ranking after each round. Zurich were in fourth place thanks to their 3-0 success against Lugano. Already after 19 minutes, the game was decided – Rohner, Nef and Marchesano met and made the decision. The team of Ludovic Magnin – the former FCZ player took over the troupe at the end of February, before he was responsible for the U21 team – still has a problem on the offensive. Only 32 goals have been scored so far. The best scorers of the Zurich are Dwamena and Frey. Both are only six hits.
Young Boys:
Adi Hütter is currently struggling with very different problems. The Austrian has a luxury problem on offense. Only two strikers he usually runs, where he has at least three top strikers in the squad. With Sulejmani, an attacking midfielder has been among the top scorers. Roger Assale and Jean Pierre Nsame duel for the Torsjägerkrone. The two Africans have already scored 21 goals for the Bernese. Also the Serb Miralem Sulejmani is still in this race with ten hits. After a long injury – Guillaume Hoarau missed almost the entire first round – was also the top scorer last season back to its old strength. The Frenchman scored eight goals in six round matches! Therefore, it is not surprising that the Bernese with these four top goalscorers put the most powerful offensive in the league. For great cheering but another player made on the last matchday. 21-year-old Djibril Sow hit the top corner in the 79th minute. After a corner the GC defensive cleared the ball only to the edge of the penalty area – Sow pulled through and took the ball directly from the air.
The fans of the Young Boys have every reason to celebrate this season. After all, the Berner won in the second half of each game so far. As a result of this consistency, YB is steadily extending its lead. FC Basel are currently 16 points behind, with Basel still having a catch-up game ahead of them. The Bernese matured into a top team this season. In recent years, the Young Boys always kept up in the direct duels with Basel. The yellow-blacks lost in the past too often against teams from the bottom half of the table. Also this season, YB has conceded the three defeats only against weak teams. The canton rival Thun – currently bottom of the table – has so far won both direct matches. Already in the 2009/10 season, the Bernese had 13 points ahead of the Basler. Nevertheless, the Bebbi became masters. Since then, the term “veryoungboysen” is circulating in the federal state. This means as much as: leaving out an important opportunity or opportunity. Adi Hütter and his team will teach the Bernese a better and bring the first title to Bern after more than 30 years. This requires three points in Zurich.
