Young Boys vs Lugano Prediction
Young Boys were seemingly resurgent, winning three consecutive games before crashing down to earth with their defeat last weekend. Remarkably, YB's victory in the reverse fixture is their sole victory in the last five head-to-head games (two losses).
Lugano are three-time Swiss champions. However, the third and last of those triumphs came over seven decades ago in 1949. Mattia Croci-Torti's side will be hoping to build on their second-placed finish last season and currently hold a one-point advantage at the summit.
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
