Young Boys vs St Gallen prediction, preview, team news and more | Swiss Super League 2023-24

Young Boys will be looking to clinch the Swiss Super League title when they play host to St. Gallen on Thursday. Peter Zeidler’s side have failed to win their last 28 visits to the Wankdorf Stadion and will head into the game looking to end this 15-year spell.

Young Boys had to put their Swiss top-flight title champagne on ice at the weekend as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Lugano on home turf.

Before that, Joël Magnin’s men were on a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming five wins and two draws since the start of April.

Despite last weekend’s defeat, Young Boys hold a six-point lead at the top of the table and could be crowned champions with all three points on Thursday.

Elsewhere, Albert Vallci came up trumps for St. Gallen last time out as he cancelled out Timothé Cognat’s 25th-minute opener to hand them a 1-1 draw against Servette.

With that result, Zeidler’s side have now gone eight consecutive games without defeat, claiming three wins and five draws since March’s 3-2 loss against Lugano.

With 54 points from 35 matches, Lugano are currently fourth in the league standings, three points above fifth-placed FC Zurich just outside the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification places.
