Dortmund came away 3-2 winners over Hamburg in the most recent meeting between the sides, racking up a ridiculous xG of 6.00 from 24 shots in the encounter.

Hamburg only had four shots in that game as the away side, suggesting that the two goals they scored flattered them a bit - and that there is a significant gap in quality between these sides.

Dortmund only lost two of their 17 home games in the Bundesliga last season, with only Bayern Munich collecting more points than Niko Kovac’s side at home in the Bundesliga last season.

It’s the scoring power of Dortmund that should set them apart from their opponents here, they scored 40 goals across those 17 home matches - only conceding 16.

By contrast, Hamburg only managed to win three of their 17 away games in the Bundesliga last season, only scoring 15 goals in the road which was the second lowest tally of any side in the division. 

Lyon won their opening game of the Ligue 1 season with a routine 2-0 victory over Toulouse on the road. They did manage to survive an xG of 2.77 from their opponents, but this only translated to two shots on target from the home side.

Lyon beat Le Havre 1-0 in this fixture last season, dominating the underlying numbers with an xG of 2.56 from

18 shots in that contest. Lyon also beat Le Havre at home the season prior, putting four goals past them in another comfortable victory with an xG of 3.98.

Only PSG (13) and Lens (14) won more games at home than Lyon in Ligue 1 last season (12), with Paulo Fonseca’s side scoring 30 goals across these games and conceding just 18.

Le Havre picked up most of their points at home in Ligue 1 last season, winning just three of their 17 matches at home - notably only scoring 12 goals across these games, the second lowest tally of any side in Ligue 1 when on the road last season. 

The recent head to head meetings between these sides have been very goal heavy, with each of the last five meetings seeing 3+ goals.

The most recent clash saw Lausanne cover this goal line on their own, coming away 3-0 winners in front of their own fans with nine shots on target on that occasion.

Zurich have made a pretty poor start to the campaign, losing three of their four league matches so far, but have seen goals regularly over recent months - seeing 3+ goals in each of their last 11 matches across all competitions.

Zurich’s poor form at the start of the campaign would suggest that Lausanne may be able to cover this line on their own again, though the recent head to head meetings would also indicate that Zurich tend to get on the scoresheet in this fixture. 

Both of these sides have started the season well with three wins from their opening four games of the campaign, setting up this clash to be an entertaining one in what could be an early marker in the race for the title in Switzerland.

Young Boys have seen BTTS in three of their four matches in the league so far this season, most recently coming away 4-2 winners at home over Vaduz. Young Boys scored 43 goals at home across 19 games last season (2.26 per game), so they should have the fire power to get on the scoresheet here.

Basel have seen BTTS in each of their last four matches ahead of this clash and notably saw 63 goals across their 19 away matches last season (3.31 per game). They faced off against Young Boys four times in 2025, seeing BTTS in three of these matches.
