Luzern and Young Boys will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 15 clash on Saturday (November 23rd). The game will be played at Swissporarena.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 4-2 defeat they suffered away to Sion a fortnight ago. They were two goals down at the break after strikes from Dejan Sorgic and Ilyas Chouaref but Thibault Klidje scored a brace to draw the game level by the 59th minute. Jesper Lofgren's own goal restored the hosts' lead in the 61st minute while Chouaref completed his brace in the 89th minute.
Young Boys, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 home win over Lugano. Cedric Itten and Anto Grgic's first half penalties for both sides ensured the game was level at the break. Alan Virginius scored the match-winner in the 76th minute.
The victory took them to ninth spot in the table, having garnered 16 points from 14 games. Luzern are fifth on 22 points.
