Winterthur vs Young Boys prediction, preview, team news and more

Winterthur will play host to Young Boys at the Stadium Schützenwiese in round six of the Swiss Super League on Sunday.

The visitors head into the weekend off the back of their Conference League qualifier heartbreak against Anderlecht and will look to quickly bounce back from that result.

Newly-promoted Winterthur cruised through to the round of 32 of the Swiss Cup as they claimed a resounding 7-0 victory over FC Muri last Sunday.

They have now turned their attention to the Super League, where they have failed to win any of their opening five games of the new campaign.

Winterthur are currently ninth in the league standings, level on two points with last-placed FC Zurich.

Having lost 1-0 in the first leg, Young Boys claimed a 1-0 victory over Anderlecht in the second leg of their Conference League playoffs clash last time out before losing on penalties against the Belgian side.

They have now returned to the Super League where they have kicked off the new campaign in fine fashion, winning three and picking up two draws in their opening five games.

Young Boys, who are currently at the top of the table, are unbeaten in eight consecutive league games, dating back to July’s 3-1 loss against Lugano.

Winterthur vs Young Boys Head-To-Head

Young Boys have been the dominant side in the history of this fixture, claiming six wins from their previous 13 meetings. Winterthur have managed just one win in that time, while six games have ended all square.
