Luzern vs Young Boys Prediction: Will struggling Luzern stop Young Boys in this match

One of the games that will take place during week 4 of the Swiss Super League will have Young Boys making the trip to meet Luzern at the Swissporarena in Luzern. On the previous weekend, the Luzern were defeated by St. Gallen, but the Young Boys quickly got back on track this past weekend by routing Winterthur 5-2.

Luzern - home will hope to avoid a defeat here

After suffering a 2-1 loss to St. Gallen in their most recent Super League match, Luzern will be coming into this match wanting to improve on their previous performance. During that match, Luzern held 41% of the possession and had 5 shots on goal, with 2 of them finding the target. Jakub Kadák was the lone player for Luzern to get his name on the scoresheet in the 50th minute. On the other end of the field, St. Gallen had 22 shots on goal, with only six of them finding the target. St. Gallen's first goal came from Christian Witzig in the 68th minute, while Albert Vallci's goal came in the 74th minute. In the most recent matches, it has been far too uncommon for Luzern to play without giving up a goal. The stats demonstrate that Luzern have failed to keep their opponents from scoring in five of their most recent six matches, resulting in a total of six goals conceded to their opponents. Luzern come into this matchup having lost all 13 of their previous league matches versus Young Boys without ever claiming a victory over them.

Expert Betting Tips

In week 4 of the Swiss Super League, we should be in for one of the closest confrontations that the league has to offer. However, despite the fact that the Young Boys did not have it all their own way in the prior contests between these two teams, the way the odds have been set does not sway my opinion one way or the other. In the meantime, based on what I have seen from both teams during this season, I am very certain that Young Boys will figure things out and emerge victorious from this match.
