FC Zurich and Young Boys will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 11 fixture on Sunday.
The home side come into the clash on the back of a harrowing 5-0 defeat away to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Joey Veerman scored a brace to inspire the win for his side.
The Swiss champions will turn their focus to league action where they sit at the bottom of the standings, having garnered just four points from 10 matches. Young Boys lead the way at the summit and have 23 points to show for their efforts in 10 games.
The league leaders secured a hard-fought 2-1 home win over St. Gallen in their most recent fixture last weekend. Jean-Pierre Nsame put them ahead in the 13th minute, while Chadrac Akolo equalized for the visitors in the 38th minute.
Leonidas Stergiou put through his own net with three minutes to go to hand the Bern outfit all three points.

Zurich vs Young Boys Prediction
FC Zurich have had a shocking start to the season and their title defense is practically over just 10 matches into the campaign. Their poor form has already seen them go through three managerial changes this season, with new gaffer Bo Henriksen getting a baptism of fire in his first match in charge against PSV.
Keeping the club in the Super League will be his first task, although he will not have a tougher first league game than facing Young Boys.
The visitors' lack of European football has enabled them to focus squarely on league action and they are well-positioned to reclaim the title. We are backing Young Boys to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
