FC Luzern vs Young Boys Prediction and Betting Tips

FC Luzern will look to make it two wins from their opening two home games in the 2023-24 Super League campaign when they take on Young Boys on Sunday (August 13).

Luzern’s dreams of reaching the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage suffered a huge blow, as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Hibernian in the first leg of the third qualifying round on Thursday. That followed a 2-1 defeat at St. Gallen in the Super League, which snapped their eight-game unbeaten run.

With their last two defeats coming on the road, Mario Frick’s side will be happy to return home, where they kicked off their new league campaign with a 2-1 win over FC Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy on July 30.

Young Boys, meanwhile, returned to winning ways by thrashing Winterthur 5-2 at the Wankdorf Stadion. Before that, Wicky’s men had picked up a 2-1 win over Lausanne-Sport in their league opener on July 23, one week before drawing 2-2 with Yverdon-Sport FC.

Young Boys are on a run of four wins in their last five games across competitions, with the draw against Yverdon-Sport being the exception.
