Young Boys will welcome St. Gallen to the Wankdorf Stadion in the Swiss Super League on Saturday (October 8).
Young Boys failed in their title defence last season, finishing third, as FC Zurich clinched their 13th title with a double-digit lead. The hosts are leading the standings with 20 points this time but need three points to keep second-placed Servette at bay.
St. Gallen, who sit third with 15 points, are in good shape and could make life difficult for the league leaders. Both teams have got the better of each other on several occasions.
The visitors have won the top flight twice, doing so in 1903-04 and 1999-2000. They finished fifth last season and will look for a better finish this time. A win at Wankdorf Stadion will boost their confidence.
St. Gallen, though, are coming off successive losses, and another defeat will see them slide down the standings. Espen won 2-1 in the reverse fixture last month, but another win - this time away - could be a tougher proposition.
