Young Boys - hoping to continue league’s dominance on Basel

After a 1-1 tie with FC Sion in the Super League, BSC Young Boys will play in this match. BSC Young Boys controlled 63% of the ball and had 24 shots (with 5 on target) in that game. Jean-Pierre Nsame (64') scored the winning goal for BSC Young Boys. Sion countered with 11 shots, five of which were on target. FC Sion's Mario Balotelli scored in the 53rd minute. The BSC Young Boys' recent scorelines reflect the team's monumental defensive efforts. The number of goals scored against BSC Young Boys in their net throughout their last six matches is just four.

Both of Zalgiris Vilnius' goals were scored by Mathias Oyewusi (in the 42nd and 62nd minutes). Alex Frei's FC Basel 1893 have scored 8 goals in their previous 6 matches, good for an average of 1.33 goals per game. FC Basel 1893 has failed to win any of their last 12 league matches played away from home against BSC Young Boys. A dismal streak of away performances. Also, Basel has lost their last three league games on the road.
