Young Boys vs Zurich prediction, preview, team news and more | Swiss Super League 2021-22

Young Boys will welcome FC Zurich to the Stadion Wankdorf for a Swiss Super League marquee clash on Saturday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Lausanne last weekend. Stjepan Kukuruzovic scored an injury-time penalty to help the hosts snatch a point at the death.

FC Zurich suffered a shock 3-0 defeat to St. Gallen on home turf. Christopher Lungoyi stepped off the bench to wrap up the scoring in the 89th minute.

Despite the defeat, Zurich remain at the summit, although they saw their lead over second-placed Basel reduced to 12 points. Young Boys are 14 points behind in third spot and need a win to retain their hopes of successfully defending their league crown.

Young Boys vs Zurich Prediction

Young Boys have had a disastrous second half to the season and are in danger of losing their league crown. Anything other than a win for the hosts will see them out of the title race and they are likely to go all out for the win.

They will have their work cut out against a Zurich side still smarting from the loss of their 17-game unbeaten run in the league. Both sides are likely to go toe-to-toe in search of three points. We are backing the game to end in a share of the spoils in a high-scoring draw.

Prediction: Young Boys 2-2 FC Zurich
