Young Boys are due to host Servette at Wankdorf Stadion in the Swiss Super League on Sunday.
Young Boys come into a top-of-the-table clash on the back of two draws. They boast two wins after four rounds of matches, just enough to keep a stranglehold on the top spot. However, they are tied on eight points with second-placed Grasshoppers and third-placed Servette. The upcoming matchday will be crucial for all three teams who could be displaced. Fresh from a brilliant qualification for the Europa Conference League playoffs, Young Boys hope to see off the challenge of Servette to remain at the summit.
Trending
Servette, unlike Young Boys, did not qualify for any continental competition last term after they finished in sixth spot. They are willing to make amends this season. With defending champions Zurich temporarily out of the way after being shoved to the floor of the standings, Les Grenats are becoming strong contenders. However, their title credentials will face an acid test against Young Boys on Sunday. We expect a fiercely contested encounter for both the top spot but for bragging rights.
As Young Boys divide their attention between domestic commitments and the Conference League, Servette will keep their focus on Sunday’s game.
