This is a particularly significant match for the away team, as they aim to narrow the gap in the league standings with Young Boys. Nevertheless, Young Boys has consistently demonstrated exceptional performance at home, especially in crucial encounters like this. While three out of their last five meetings have concluded with fewer than three goals, I anticipate a distinct scenario in this match. The hosts are likely to leverage their home-field advantage in a game where both teams are expected to score.
