FC Zurich host Young Boys at the Letzigrund on Saturday in the 13th round of the Swiss Super League. The visitors will hope to build on momentum from their hard-fought second half 3-2 comeback victory over Basel in midweek.
Zurich beat Sion 2-0 in their last game to go top of the league and have only lost twice this season, winning seven times. Zurich's first home loss came last weekend against second-placed Servette.
Defending champions Young Boys, meanwhile, are third-to-last in the points table with just 12 points. Their midweek victory against Basel marked their third league win of the campaign, but they have picked up two wins out of three in the league under interim boss Joel Magnin.
