Young Boys will host Lausanne Sport at the Wankdorf Stadion on Sunday in the opening round of the 2023-24 Swiss Super League campaign.

They finished comfortably atop the league table last season with 74 points from 36 games, 16 points above second-placed Servette.
Young Boys went on to enjoy a strong pre-season campaign which saw them pick up five wins and two draws from their seven friendlies and will be looking to carry that momentum into the new season.

Young Boys are on a run of back-to-back victories and are undefeated in their last nine games. They performed brilliantly on home turf last season and will fancy their chances ahead of Sunday's game.
Lausanne ended the previous campaign on a four-game unbeaten streak and lost just one of their final eight league games. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should, however, see the home side win this one.
