Young Boys will entertain FC Zurich at Stadion Wankdorf in the Swiss Super League on Sunday.
Young Boys vs FC Zürich Preview
Young Boys are the new Swiss champions. Their status has been confirmed with four rounds of matches to spare. They have established an unassailable lead atop the table to seal their 16th top-flight title. They maintain a 19-point gap between them and second-placed Servette (67-48).
Young Boys have also earned qualification for the Champions League third qualifying round. They will look to power their total points to around the 80-point mark, but then that would still be short of their 2020-21 record finish of 84 points.
FC Zurich have managed to save their season and are now eying a mid-table finish. Their campaign had been chaotic right from the start of the season. The defending champions were a shadow of themselves, as they spent several months languishing in the basement of the standings.
FCZ sit in eighth place with 37 points, having won eight matches out of 32, drawing 13 and losing 11. In another display of their renewed form, Zürich pulled off a shock 2-0 away win over Basel in their last league game. With nothing left to fight for, Zurich coach Bo Henriksen claims Young Boys will be less formidable.
