Yet, there is no guarantee that such a pattern will be maintained into this match. Upon looking at their historical performance, it can be seen that Young Boys have not been defeated by FC Basel 1893 in the league in any of their most recent 10 matches. In addition, Young Boys have not suffered a defeat in any of their previous sixteen home league matches.

In the match that came before this one, Basel and St. Gallen played to a 1-1 draw in the Super League match.

St. Gallen's goal was scored by Emmanuel Latte Lath in the 52nd minute. Basel has scored a total of 10 goals during the course of their previous half-dozen matches. Moreover, Basel has scored in each and every single one of those games in which they have participated. During the course of those matches, they have been defeated by a total of six goals. The form guide for the league says that going into this match, Basel have not beaten Young Boys when they have played them away from their home venue in any of the previous 13 matches in the league.

Basel is not now in the finest shape it used to be like they were in previous seasons, and as a result, they have not been competitive recently. The away team has failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their previous five matches, demonstrating that their defensive line is weak even though their offense has been relatively subdued. If we take a look at Young Boys, the fact that they do not participate in European football gives them an advantage since it gives them more time to concentrate on the league they play in. As a result of this, considering how powerful they are, a victory for the home team in this contest
