Servette FC vs BSC Young Boys Prediction
Young Boys to Dominate Struggling Servette
Preview
Alright boet, let's get down to business! This one looks pretty straightforward when you look at the numbers. Servette are sitting in 10th place with only 15 points from 14 games - that's not championship form, is it? They've been struggling big time, losing 5 of their last 10 matches and conceding goals for fun.
Young Boys are sitting pretty in 3rd place with 25 points, and they know how to win against the smaller teams. Just look at their recent 5-0 hammering of FC Winterthur and that 4-1 thrashing of FC ST. Gallen who are 2nd in the table! Sure, they had a bad day against Lausanne (lost 5-0) and PAOK (lost 4-0), but every team has those days, ja?
The head-to-head tells the story - Young Boys have won 5 out of 9 meetings, including a 3-1 win in their last encounter. Servette have only managed 1 win at home against Young Boys in 5 attempts. That's not great odds for the home team.
Servette's home form isn't exactly scary either - they're only scoring 1 goal per game at home. Young Boys might be conceding 2.83 goals away from home, but they're also putting 1.83 in the net. Against a Servette side that's leaking goals and sitting near the bottom of the table, I fancy Young Boys to find the back of the net multiple times.
The only concern is Young Boys have had only 3 days rest after playing Aston Villa, while Servette had 8 days to prepare. But quality should shine through here, and Young Boys have shown they can handle the quick turnarounds in Europe.
Time to fire up the braai and celebrate another winner!
