Young Boys vs Lugano Prediction and Betting Tips

Young Boys welcome Lugano to the Stadion Wankdorf in the Swiss Super League on Sunday (September 24).

The hosts will endeavour to return to winning ways after a 3-1 home setback against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. That snapped their ncredible 16-game undefeated streak as they switch focus to the Super League, with eyes on the top spot.

Young Boys won the league last season and have got off to a solid title defence, winning three of five games and drawing twice. They sit one point behind first-placed Zurich (12-11) with a game in hand. Young Boys are tied on 11 points with St. Gallen and Luzern, who're looking to capitalise on YB's slip-up.

Lugano, meanwhile, are also top contenders for the title. They're in fifth place with nine points and also have one game in hand. They were held at home to a goalless draw by Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday. In their previous away game, they beat Nancy 2-0 in the Swiss Cup.

Bianconeri finished third last season and have a point to prove in the ongoing campaign. However, they have work to do to end their 74-year top-flight title drought. They lost to Young Boys 3-2 in the Swiss Cup but won the two sides’ previous league clash 2-0.
