Will Bern falter in front of their home crowd?
All is not well at the dethroned serial champions from Bern, as the Yellow and Blacks were beaten 4-1 by FC Basel during the week after dropping points in Winterthur (1-1). And now, of all times, they face a very unpleasant opponent in Sion at the Wankdorf Stadium. The Rouge et Blanc took all six points from their first two league games, scoring seven goals in the process, which also has a lasting impact on our tip for Young Boys against Sion.
For YB, the recent 1-4 defeat in Basel was also symbolic of the unrest in the squad. Numerous regulars are on their way out, potential replacements are slow in coming, and even top talent Zachary Athekame looks set to leave, putting immense pressure on the sporting management. It is quite possible that the visitors from the Rhone Valley will take advantage of this and pick up points in Bern. The prediction that the Valaisans will score at least two away goals at the Wankdorf Stadium is very interesting for Young Boys against Sion.
In perception, there may be worlds between BSC Young Boys and FC Sion, but in sporting terms, this duel has recently been in the hands of the Sion team, who have won three of their last four encounters with the yellow and blacks. The Valaisans have scored in all four of these games. In three of the four cases, they even scored at least two goals, which would mean our betting tip would come in.
If you think this tip and the suggested double chance X2 with over 1.5 goals is too risky, you can also bet on Young Boys vs. Sion with odds of 1.53 on over 2.5 goals using the handy Interwetten app. After all, games at the Wankdorf Stadium are rarely low-scoring and quiet.
Young Boys – Sion Head-to-head / H2H record
Head to head: 82 – 38 – 56
A total of 167 matches have been played between the two teams so far, with BSC Young Boys leading the head-to-head record with 80 wins. Although the Bernese won their last home game against FC Sion convincingly 5-1, they had previously lost three competitive games in a row, all of which went to Sion, who scored a total of seven goals against YB.
Young Boys – Sion Tip
YB is not only struggling on the pitch after dropping points against Winterthur (1-1) and Basel (1-4), but is also going through a difficult period in terms of personnel. It is still completely unclear who will stay, who will leave and, above all, who will come in if any big names depart.
In this difficult situation, the team now has to face a club that has won both of its first two games and has been particularly dangerous in attack, scoring seven goals. Sion have also won three of their last four competitive games against BSC Young Boys and should therefore definitely have something to play for at the Wankdorf Stadium.
Also, because the betting odds for Young Boys against Sion are remarkably high, the bet that the team from the Rhone Valley will score at least two away goals in Bern is very popular. In three of their last four encounters, Sion have always scored at least twice against YB. After scoring seven goals in their first two Super League games, the momentum is also in favor of the Rouge et Blanc.
Winamax is offering odds of 3.10 for the Valaisans to score over 1.5 goals, which we are playing very cautiously with three out of ten units.
