Rock-bottom Lausanne-Sport, on a nine-game losing streak, will play host to Young Boys in Round 26 of the Swiss Super League on Sunday.
Young Boys, second in the league table, have won their last eight games against Lausanne. They will fancy their chances of continuing that trend this weekend.
FC Lausanne-Sport’s horror run in the Swiss top flight continued last weekend as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against title-chasing Zurich. They have now lost their last ten games across competitions, including nine in the league. Lausanne haven’t won in 12 games since a 1-0 win at St. Gallen in November.
With a meagre 12 points from 25 games, Lausanne-Sport are rooted to the bottom of the Super League table. They are 15 points adrift of Grasshopper Zurich, who are just outside the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Young Boys continue to struggle for form. They had to settle for a 2-2 home draw with Luzern on Saturday after squandering a two-goal lead after ten minutes.
Young Boys have now failed to win three of their last four games, including two draws and a loss. They are are currently second in the league standings with 44 points from 25 games, level on points with third-placed Basel.

Lausanne-Sport vs Young Boys Prediction
After failing to win three of their last four games, Young Boys have slipped in their title defence, as they are now 15 points off leaders Zurich.
However, Young Boys will fancy their chances against a Lausanne-Sport side that has endured a horrid campaign and are almost certain to drop to the second tier. Considering the same, Young Boys could return to winning ways in style against the basement dwellers.
Prediction: Lausanne-Sport 0-3 Young Boys
