The current Swiss champion started the new season inconsistently - Basel lost away to St. Gallen in the first round (2:1), in the second round the team rehabilitated itself, but with great difficulty beat Grasshopper (2:1).
Young Boys took 3rd place last season, having demonstrated a very weak start. In the first two rounds of the new season, Young Boys scored 4 points, first beating the formidable Servette at home (3:1), but then could not beat the modest Winterthur (1:1) away, although the game was away.
Basel and Young Boys are fundamental rivals who regularly decided the fate of the Swiss championship between themselves. So a tense match with an exchange of goals is expected. Basel will attack on their home field, and Young Boys is dangerous on the counterattack. Both teams regularly score and concede, and head-to-head meetings are also rich in goals.
