Luzern vs Young Boys Prediction and Betting Tips | 5th February 2023

Luzern will entertain Young Boys at Swissporarena in the Swiss Super League on Sunday.

Luzern vs Young Boys Preview

In-form Young Boys will look to extend their 11-match unbeaten streak as they travel to face Luzern. The hosts were knocked out of the Swiss Cup by Thun on Tuesday but prevailed in their last league assignment against Basel 3-2. Sunday’s meeting is crucial for Luzern, who could leap to the second spot if they win.

However, Die Leuchten have been unconvincing at home of late, winning once in their last five meetings at Swissporarena. They need to be at their best to thwart the visitors, who emerged victorious 2-1 in their last visit. Luzern last defeated Young Boys in February 2020. “We’re hoping to repeat that,” says coach Mario Frick.

Young Boys have established a comfortable 14-point lead atop the table, which may be difficult to crush across the remainder of the campaign. They come into the game on the back of a thumping 5-1 win over Winterthur at home – their 12th victory in 18 league contests. They have drawn five matches and lost only one.

The Bern-based team, who boast four wins in their last five outings, have returned unbeaten from their last five trips. The last two league fixtures between the sides went in favor of Young Boys, who outscored Luzern 5-1. However, the hosts have forced the visitors into a stalemate many times, even away from home.
