Zurich vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
After five rounds played, the final is in the Swiss Cup. FC Zurich is set as home team, but the match takes place in the stadium of the opponent. For safety reasons, the match will be kicked off at 14:00 at the Stade de Suisse. The yellow and black are standing since 2009 for the first time again in the final. The FCZ secured the cup victory two years ago. The betting odds for a victory of the actual home team are located in an extremely deep area. After a strong season, the Berner Young Boys earned as a favorite in the last game of the season. But FC Zurich have lost none of their last five games. The federal city is experiencing another football spectacle. After the master celebration last Sunday, the players of the Bernese have to put the focus back on football. In this game, the team will prevail, which will act more focused. The Bernese Young Boys will win the double this season, especially the offensive has been convincing so far and in the final Hoarau will shoot the yellow-blacks to victory. This is at least our opinion as the basis for the tip, the rates to 2.80 holds.
FC Zurich:
FC Zurich are in the Cup final with a strong form. The Zurich have scored nine points in the last five games and have lost no game. Especially the duel against FC Basel caused a stir. In the home game in Letzigrund the FCZ outclassed the Basel. After 91 minutes the city-Zurich led with 4: 0. Michael Frey scored his fifth goal in the four games in this game. The 23-year-old striker made his first steps as a professional footballer at the Bernese Young Boys. Therefore, the cup final will be particularly intense for him. Born in Bern, he will be hunting for goals in his home stadium for FC Zurich and will try to win the trophy. Frey was also the main reason for the semi-finals. In the match against FC Thun, Michael Frey secured his colors thanks to two goals in the last few minutes of the game. Apart from Frey, Zurich does not have much to offer in the offensive – except for Raphael Dwamena. Accordingly, few goals have scored the city Zurich in this season. If the two strikers catch a bad day on Sunday, FC Zurich will have no chance!
The way to Bern was not without its hurdles for FC Zurich. In the quarter-finals, the first superleague was confronted with FC Thun against this year’s cup. The Oberland led the game until the 85th minute with 3: 1. Only in the last minute, the city Zurich secured the entry into the semifinals. In this the Grasshoppers waited. The Zurich derby did not convince playfully at all. Also in injury time FCZ scored the decisive goal. No last minute goal will bring the decision against the Berne Young Boys. I expect Ludovic Magnin’s team to focus on the defense. Accordingly, FC Zurich will score a maximum of one goal.
Young Boys:
The performances of the Bernese Young Boys have been rather disappointing in the last few games. After the yellow-blacks have brought the championship title back to the capital after 32 years, the celebration was probably in the center. Otherwise, the partially catastrophic performance can not be explained. Against the dethroned master, the Bernese conceded a 1: 5 defeat! This was the only bankruptcy in the second half. In the home Stade de Suisse the Young Boys conceded in the entire season only a bankruptcy, this had to take YB against the canton rivals. Certainly, the venue will bring some benefits. After the turbulent weeks, Wankdorf turned into a marquee last Sunday. Throughout the day, the people of the city of Bern celebrated their master heroes. In the evening, around 40,000 fans gathered in Wankdorf and cheered their idols. As Züri West – one of the most famous Swiss bands from Berne – gave their classic song “some luck for a while” (some luck is back) from the year 2004, there was a goose bump in Wankdorf.
For some YB players and also for Adi Hütter, the cup final will be the last match for the Bernese. With the double, this team would be immortalized in Bern. When looking at the statistics almost everything speaks for the new master. The outstanding offense (84 goals in 36 games) was reported throughout the season. The three strikers Assalé, Nsamé and Hoarau scored 40 goals this season! YB has the title win in their own hands. Players must bring the focus back to the pitch for the final game of the season after the festivities. In this game, the Berne Young Boys can only beat themselves. The city of Bern is ready for the third free night this month and the second title this season!
