Young Boys vs Zurich Prediction: Crucial game ahead with a lot of offensive intensity expected

Young Boys vs Zurich: Prediction and odds on the Match on 21 April 2025

Prediction for the Switzerland Super League encounter between Young Boys and Zurich in game week 33. The two teams suffered heavy defeats last weekend, where they both failed to register a goal. Which team will bounce back from their last weekend mess? Here at Telecomasia, we will look into providing a comprehensive game preview and offer free betting opportunities.

Young Boys: Form and Statistics

What a bad outing for Young Boys last weekend and Giorgio Contini will be feeling disappointed with the performance his side pulled off last weekend. However, that is now gone and the focus will be on bouncing back to winning ways after an incredible run of games with just two losses. After a very slow start to the season, coupled with poor performances in UEFA Champions League matches, this team started to look like the side we watched the previous year in early February, which saw them with crucial games at difficult stadiums.

Ahead of this game, Young Boys have moved to fourth place, having previously seated 10th in the first half of the season. This team has 50 points and sits just eight points adrift of first-placed Basel, whom they defeated 1-2 away from home last month. Giorgio Contini’s team has not lost a single home match since February, winning five times, while their most recent ended in a 1-1 draw with Yverdon.

Young Boys Lineup

Mohamed Camara will not travel with this squad after facing a red card last week against Luzern. However, Giorgio Contini will still have some selection issues as he has five players on his injury list. Ebrima Colley, Saidy Janko, Dario Marzino (meniscus injury), Joël Monteiro (torn ankle ligaments) and Facinet Conte (cruciate ligament tear) will not be available for this game.

🔖 Young Boys’ Predicted XI (4-2-3-1):

Marvin Keller, Zachary Athekame, Sandro Lauper, Loris Benito, Jaouen Hadjam, Lukasz Lakomy, Rayan Raveloson, Alan Virginius, Filip Ugrinic, Christian Fassnacht, Chris Bedia

⛔️ Unavailable: Ebrima Colley, Dario Marzino, Saidy Janko, Facinet Conte, Joël Monteiro (all injured)

👤 Head Coach: Giorgio Contini.

Zurich: Form and Statistics

Zurich will be focused on turning defeat to win after a less than par performance against Basel the previous weekend, which was shocking, considering how their past meetings have ended. While this game is another tough test against a very good side that is hungry for a win after a poor performance last weekend, the Ricardo Moniz team will enter this game hoping to be at their best possible.

However, Zurich have been amazing in the past matches, losing their first game in five league matches. This team has picked up wins over Luzern and Grasshoppers while settling for a draw with Winterthur and Lausanne. While entering into this game with a winless run of three matches, Zurich have also failed to win in four consecutive fixtures against Young Boys, and that will leave Moniz to try a tactic that can defeat this tough host. Ahead of this game, Zurich sit 6th in the standings, occupying the last spot for the championship group with 47 points. In 32 games played, Zurich scored 43 goals and conceded 46.

Zurich Lineup

Zurich coach Ricardo Moniz will have three injury concerns, which will not be too much for the rest of the team to manage. Juan José Perea with an Achilles tendon rupture is not expected to travel with this team as he continues his recovery. Fernand Goure is also another name on the list for this side after picking up a knee injury.

💰 St. Louis City SC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Match Prediction 21 April 2025

This is a crucial game that calls for a total commitment from these two sides. While Zurich's chances of playing in the Championship group are at risk, dropping points here could see Young Boys denying themselves a league title with an eight-point gap already on the standings. The two teams are expected to approach this encounter with their A-game and I believe it will be close, but Young Boys will enjoy their turf advantage with full fan support, which should be enough to give them a win.

Our match prediction is a win for Young Boys with odds at 1.78 on 1Xbet.

Our betting tip is under 2.5 goals with odds at 2.25 on Bet365.
