Fresh off the back of ending their seven-game winless run in the Swiss Super League, Young Boys visit the Stade Tourbillon to take on FC Sion on Sunday.
The hosts, meanwhile, head into the game without a win in any of their last three home outings and will be looking to end this dry spell.
FC Sion failed to return to winning ways last Saturday as they were on the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing by league leaders FC Zurich.
Prior to that, Les Sédunois ended their three-game losing streak with a 3-1 win at Lugano on April 10 before playing out a goalless draw with FC Basel eight days later.
With 34 points from 31 games, FC Sion are currently eighth in the Super League table, seven points above ninth-placed Luzern in the relegation playoff spot.
Elsewhere, Young Boys strengthened their chances of a place in Europe next season as they claimed a 3-1 victory over Servette FC last Saturday.
Prior to that, they were on a seven-game winless run, picking up four points from a possible 21.
Young Boys have picked up 50 points from their 31 games this season to sit third in the table, four points above fourth-placed Lugano just outside the Conference League qualification spot.

FC Sion vs Young Boys Prediction
Buoyed by their victory over Servette, Young Boys will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to finish off the season strong. They face an out-of-sorts Sion side who have managed just three wins since the turn of the year and we predict they will come away with all three points.
Prediction: FC Sion 0-2 Young Boys
