Young Boys find themselves two points off the summit albeit with a game in hand. The defending champions know that a win will take them to the top and give them an edge in the early title race.
Zurich, for their part seem eager to make up for their disappointing campaign last season. They have been nearly unstoppable across competitions this season and also have an edge with their lack of continental football.
There's little to choose from between the two sides, with their last three clashes ending in a share of the spoils.
