Young Boys Stats & Current Form
Raphael Wicky celebrates his debut as the new trainer at the BSC. The 45-year-old from Valais last coached the Chicago Fire in MLS in the USA until September 2021. Under him, success should now return to the capital after there was no real improvement under the previous interim coach Matteo Vanetta – only to be seen from four wins in eleven games.
Wicky knows the local Super League very well: he was a player in Sion for a long time and he has also gained experience as a coach in the league, as the 75-time international for Switzerland also trained in Basel between 2017 and 2018.

Top striker Siebatcheu is no longer on board
The third of the past season sold his best striker in the person of Jordan Siebatcheu during the summer break. From now on, the American will play for Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga and the 26-year-old was not only the most successful goal-getter for the Yellow-Blacks, he also claimed the title throughout the league last season!
The Young Boys have it though an old acquaintance, Jean-Pierre Nsame. The top scorer of the 2020/21 season in the Super League last kicked the ball at Venice, but after the relegation of the “Arancioneroverdi” the previously agreed purchase obligation of the club from the north-east of the country was no longer valid. The fact that there is still room for improvement on the offensive without Siebatcheu is shown by various friendlies such as the recent 1-1 draw against Greuther Fürth or the zero against Dynamo Kyiv.
Expected line-up of Young Boys:
van Ballmoos – Chaiwa – Lustenberger – Kanga – Garcia – Fassnacht – Meschack – Niasse – Rieder – Itten – Nsame

The champions also start the season with a new coach. Franco Foda follows Andre Breitenreiter, who is now under contract with TSG Hoffenheim. The coaching chair in Zurich thus remains in German hands, although Foda was most recently the national coach of Austria.
However, the missed qualification for the upcoming World Cup was his undoing, which is why he resigned from his post. But his coaching team is because he took his previous assistant coaches Szabics and Kristl to Limmatstadt.
Ceesay will now go scoring in Lecce
However, the blue-whites had to accept a few departures: As with the upcoming opponent, the best goal-getter of the past championship season, Assan Ceesay, left the club for Lecce.
With Ousmane Doumbia, a strong player in defensive midfield is also on board. Especially with regard to the offensive, it remains to be seen whether the new forces in this part of the team, such as Ivan Santini or Jonathan Okita, can quickly close the gap caused by Ceesay’s departure.
His impressive record from the last season shows just how great this is: the footballer from Gambia was directly or indirectly involved in almost 40 percent of all goals in the two-time semi-finalist of the European Cup!
Maximum one hit by the FCZ?
Since the start is also against a strong defense, the duel between the Young Boys and FC Zurich also offers the odds of a maximum of one goal by the guests.
Dress rehearsal for the upcoming game was also lost. There was a 3-2 defeat against VfB Stuttgart, although the Bundesliga club is still well behind in its season planning, which is why the defeat may hurt.
Omeragic has to pass unbroken on the defensive
Becir Omeragic is also unable to play in defence. The Switzerland international suffered a meniscus injury last April and is still waiting for a comeback.
Against the background of this personality and the home advantage for Bern, the odds of a home win are also interesting when the Young Boys and FC Zurich meet.
Estimated formation of Zurich:
Brecher – Aliti – Conde – Guerrero – Hornschuh – Kamberi – Rohner – Mets – Gnonto – Okita – Aiyegun

Young Boys – FC Zurich Direct Comparison / H2H Balance
The most recent direct duel took place last April. At that time, the champions prevailed 2-1 in Letzigrund at home. Thanks to the success, the guests have a streak of three consecutive wins in this pairing!
But the home side can take heart from their home record against the country’s 13-time title holder. The last home game was also lost, but before that Bern had not recorded less than eleven victories! In addition, the home side did not lose any of the nine league games on their own territory in 2022.
Statistics highlights for Young Boys against FC Zurich
Betting Base Prediction & Young Boys – FC Zurich Tip
In the last meeting, the guests achieved, as mentioned, a 2-1 home win. The two FCZ goals were scored by Ceesay, who had moved away, and last year’s top scorer Siebatcheu, who was also no longer available, struck for Bern.
With the two best goal-getters in the Super League no longer available, both teams have suffered a veritable loss of quality on offense.
Key facts – Young Boys vs. Zurich Tip
- Zurich has won the last three duels against Bern
- BSC have not won just one of their last twelve home games against FCZ (11-0-1)
- Both teams lost their top scorers during the summer break
Last year, the home side still had the best number of goals at the end of the season and the guests the second-strongest record, but these records were primarily due to the two top scorers in the Super League at the time.
For the duel between Young Boys and FC Zurich the tip on a maximum of three hits before the final whistle is therefore advisable. Although the clubs have set up replacements in the attacking rows, it seems questionable whether the new offensive forces can fill the very large footsteps in each case right at the start of the season.
