Young Boys and St. Gallen battle for three points in a Swiss Super League round 29 clash on Saturday at the Stadion Wankdorf.
The hosts will look to build on their 2-1 victory at Basel before the international break. Young Boys went ahead in the opening seconds, through Christian Fassnacht. Nigerian forward Philip Otele equalised midway through the second half, but Fassnacht completed his brace in the 78th minute to secure Young Boys' win and put a dent in Basel's title hopes.
St. Gallen, meanwhile, suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Lausanne. Aliou Balde and Alvyn Sanches's first-half goals put Lausanne two goals ahead at the break, and they held on to their lead despite playing the final 34 minutes with a numerical disadvantage.
