Young Boys’ Firepower Points to Over Goals

Young Boys have focused on strengthening their defence this summer, signing centre-back Cedric Zesiger from Augsburg and bringing in young midfielder Dominik Bilek. Both players have been used heavily in pre-season friendlies. Up front, young winger Virginius is one to watch after also getting on the scoresheet in club friendlies.

Sion's most important summer signing is new striker Wesley Podeli, who joined from Borussia Monchengladbach. He has scored in recent friendlies and made an encouraging early impression. He is expected to lead the line alongside Franck Surdez, who has also found the net in pre-season.

Young Boys will be without midfielder Ebrima Fernandes through injury, while Sion have no reported injury or suspension concerns.

Young Boys finished in mid-table in the Swiss Super League last season, but their home attacking record in the league was solid. They have also put together a run of wins in recent friendlies and shown strong firepower, so they should be full of attacking intent here.

Sion ended last season in the upper half of the Swiss Super League and also picked up multiple wins in pre-season friendlies, showing decent attacking quality themselves. With both sides carrying threat going forward, the goals market for over looks appealing.

In the last three league meetings between the sides, Sion have recorded two wins and one draw. Their most recent meeting ended 3-3, and that match produced 10 corners.
