Basel vs Young Boys Prediction: Young Boys to thrash Basel on the road

St. Jakob-Park will host the Swiss Super League game between Basel and Young Boys. Heading into this game, the two teams could not secure a win. Which side will return to winning ways?

Basel's last league game was against Luzern, and they lost 1-0. In a road game, Basel had 56 percent of the possession and attempted 12 shots while failing to score the only one on target. Heading into this game, Basel have just one win, coming against Stade Nyonnais in the Swiss Cup after extra time. However, other games ended in three defeats and one draw. In the league this season, Basel have 10 points and scored 15 goals while conceding 9, leaving them seated 7th in the standings. 

Young Boys are coming off a disappointing performance against Barcelona and will look to turn things around. In a game that ended 5-0, Barcelona took a 3-0 lead at halftime, and while Robert Lewandoski extended the Catalan side's lead, an own goal by Young Boys' captain, Camara, was enough to hand this team their third defeat in four matches. Young Boys have two wins and three defeats in their last matches, scoring eight goals and conceding 12. 

The two teams have not been at their best this season, and they need a lot of improvement. While Basel have failed to win any of their last matches in the regular season, Young Boys are coming off consecutive defeats. Yet, Young Boys on their best days have what it takes to win here. While at home, I expect Basel to be able to get on the scoresheet, a game that should end with many goals.
