Luzern and Young Boys will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday nine fixture on Sunday (October 2).

Young Boys, meanwhile, also triumphed over Lausanne by the same scoreline in the competition. Cedric Itten's 65th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.
