Young Boys welcome Luzern to Stadion Wankdorf for a Swiss Super League matchday 32 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to St. Gallen last weekend. Mihailo Stevanovic and Lukas Gortler scored in either half to give the home side a 2-0 lead by the 71st minute. However, Young boys fought back to snatch a draw courtesy of goals from Silvere Ganvoula and Joel Mvuka Mugisha.
Luzern, meanwhile, also shared the spoils last time out, albeit in a less thrilling but tempestous goalless draw at home to Lausanne.
The stalemate left them in seventh spot in the table, having garnered 43 points from 31 games. Young Boys still lead the way at the summit with 59 points to their name.

Young Boys vs Luzern Prediction
Young Boys had a bit of a wobble between February and March but Servette failed to take advantage. Their slump saw them suffer an early ouster in the cup and led to the parting of ways with Raphael Wicky. His replacement, Joel Magnin, has opened up a five-point gap at the summit and the Bern outfit look set to successfully retain their league crown.
Luzern are just one point outside the Championship playoff spots, while a late surge for European qualification is not entirely out of the cards.
Both sides tend to have a go at one another when they square off and another entertaining game could be on the cards. We expect Young Boys to secure the win.
Prediction: Young Boys 3-1 Luzern
