Young Boys (home team)
- Top versus third in the Super League 2026/2027 table ahead of Saturday's clash in Wankdorf, Young Boys Bern (10 points from 4 games) host FC Basel (9 points from 4) in what should be a tasty title race six-pointer.
- BSC Young Boys are the 1.62 favorites to win this contest with Basel 4.6 and the draw at 4.2, and that makes perfect sense given the home team are unbeaten, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches, while RotBlau are winless in their last 3 at this venue.
- Young Boys have been prolific in the final third of late, winning 6-0 at FC Thun, drawing 2-2 at Lausanne-Sports and beating FC Vaduz 4-2 at home, and there is no doubting they will push the pace in Saturday's contest.

Key Players

- RotBlau have also been more than handy at the other end, with Zan Celar's three goals in four Super League 2026/2027 appearances enough to give them an outside chance in the game at the sharp end.
