An early heavyweight clash in the Swiss Super League sees Basel welcome Young Boys, with the away side hoping to reclaim their title from Basel this season, whose title success last campaign ended Young Boys’ hopes of claiming a 3rd league title in a row.

I've put together a Quick Tips Bet Builder ahead of proceedings, priced at EVS.

Both Teams to Score

These sides met four times last season with BTTS landing in three of those fixtures. The most recent clash between the sides actually produced eight goals as Young Boys ran out 6-2 winners over Basel back in May.

There was a total xG of 5.8 in that meeting, certainly promising when looking to back BTTS in this one. Goals have been the norm for both sides in the opening exchanges of the Swiss Super League, Basel fell to a 2-1 defeat against St Gallen in their opening game of the season before registering a win over Grasshopper by the same scoreline. Young Boys claimed a 3-1 win over Servette in their opening game, which was a big result seeing as Servette finished 2nd last season. They then played out a 1-1 draw against Winterthur, so goals have been common at both ends in the early stages of the season for each side.

Young Boys Double Chance

I’d lean slightly towards Young Boys here with their recent strong record against Basel, partnered with their 3-1 win over Servette already this season and eagerness to get back to the top of the pile in the Swiss Super League. Young Boys won three of the four meetings between the sides last season, it was their performances against the ‘lesser’ sides in the Swiss Super League which let them down last campaign, as opposed to being unable to compete with the elite sides in the division.

🔵 Basel Aim to Defend Title in Intensifying Swiss Super League Battle

Basel won the Swiss Super League last season for the first time since the 2016/17 season, but will face a real battle to keep that title with the likes of Servette and their opponents here constantly circling. Basel are the most successful club in Swiss football, but recent surges by some of the dormant sides in the division have made it a more difficult battleground to dominate in recent seasons. 

Young Boys are Basel’s main rivals for the title this season, so we can expect this to be quite a lively affair. Young Boys have the psychological advantage over Basel when looking over the recent meetings, which may just give them the edge over their title rivals.

🟡 Young Boys Out to Reclaim Crown After Statement Win Over Servette

Young Boys have made an unbeaten start to the Swiss Super League as they attempt to reclaim the league title, which was stolen away from them by Basel last season. Young Boys didn’t even manage to finish runners-up last season, with Servette claiming that spot as the levels of competition increase in the Swiss Super League year on year.

Their 3-1 win over Servette in the opening game of the season was a big statement from Young Boys, and they can follow that up with another big message here if they were to claim all three points in the latest clash between these two titans of Swiss football.

Three of these meetings also saw BTTS with the exception being Basel’s 1-0 win over Young Boys in the first meeting between the sides last season.
