Head-to-Head
The recent H2H record stands at two wins for Young Boys and one for Thun, which sets the stage perfectly for our BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Thun prediction.
BSC Young Boys Bern (home)
- Young Boys, meanwhile, have been in fine form throughout all competitions, winning four of their last five games and surviving a real test away to last season’s runners-up Luzern, where they claimed a 2-1 victory, which is worth noting in this BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Thun prediction.
- Their only blemish was a 1-0 Swiss Cup defeat to Aarau, and Giorgio Contini’s side have been a model of consistency at home, winning two and drawing one of their three Super League matches to date.
- And they have been rock solid at the back with an average of just 0.67 goals conceded per 90 minutes, as well as prolific going forward.
- YB look to dominate possession and create chances through a constant stream of attacks down the line, but Contini has improved their ability to create overloads in narrow areas of the pitch, while the full-backs can stay up to ensure that the opposition have no chance to hit on the counter.
FC Thun (away)
- Mauro Lustrinelli’s men, currently sitting second in the table with 13 points from their opening six league games, will not arrive at Stadion Wankdorf Park with trepidation, as they proved when beating YB 2-0 on this ground in a friendly during the summer, providing a key data point for the BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Thun prediction.
- Lustrinelli, who took the reigns in July 2022, has turned Thun into one of the most formidable defensive units in the Swiss topflight, and his side are also very adept at sitting deep and frustrating their opponents before breaking at pace to punish their adversaries when they do eventually get their hands on the ball - a factor to consider in the BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Thun betting tips.
- Thun have been ruthless away from home since the season began, winning all three of their away league fixtures, while scoring eight times themselves.
- However, they have been less impressive in the last week or so, with a run of two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five, including a 3-1 home defeat to Basel in the league.
Key Players
- Chris Bedia has bagged three goals in six Super League outings for Young Boys and has now notched five in his last five appearances for the club, making him one of the hottest players in the division and a focus of our BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Thun preview.
- Thun’s striker Christopher Ibayi is no less prolific, with three in his six league appearances topping the team’s scoring charts.
