Young Boys Bern, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Young Boys Bern managed a remarkable 5-1 home win against St. Gallen. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, St. Gallen managed 21 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 16 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Raphaël Wicky will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 4 goals in the same period. It's now been 27 games since they failed to score at home. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Wicky of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Stadion Wankdorf, Jean-Pierre Nsame will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Lugano, Recent FormLugano had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Luzern. In that game they recorded 52 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. Few teams have managed to keep Lugano away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season. They have found it hard to grab league points away from home of late, primarily due to their back line shipping at least 1 goal in 9 of their last 10 away games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Žan Celar will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lugano.
After a good 1-4 win for Young Boys Bern in this pair's last league encounter, Lugano will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Young Boys have scored in each of their last 14 games at home in the league against Lugano. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadion Wankdorf, Lugano have been unable to break through the Young Boys defence and find the back of the net. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Young Boys have shown they know their way around the Lugano defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches.
Lugano will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited Young Boys in the league and not won this away fixture at Stadion Wankdorf for 11 games in a row.
With 7 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Lugano at Stadion Wankdorf, Young Boys player, Jean-Pierre Nsame, will be looking forward to this clash.
Young Boys manager Raphaël Wicky has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Loris Benito (Muscle), Mohamed Camara (Personal reasons), Meschak Elia (Unknown), Sandro Lauper (Muscle), Quentin Maceiras (Muscle), Joël Monteiro (Muscle), David von Ballmoos (Shoulder) and Leandro Zbinden (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
