Luzern vs Young Boys Today’s Betting Predictions
For the guests from Berne, the last ten matches of the season are a mere showcase with 21 points ahead of FC Basel. Nevertheless, there will be no lack of motivation, because the home side from Luzern are the only Swiss team, which could force the Young Boys this season to their knees. The center stand celebrated two wins in three games. Revenge is announced at the Seoane Elf against his former club so. For an away win in the match between Luzern and the Young Boys, the odds are just under the mark of 2.00! The game starts on Thursday evening at 20 o’clock.
Luzern – Statistics & Current Form
In the sixth game it was time – for the first time had the central Swiss of FC Luzern beaten under new coach Thomas Häberli. The strong start of the new man on the sidelines was not to be expected, because the criticism after the obligation of the hitherto little known Häberli caused much skepticism. Häberli previously worked for the Young Boys and Basel only as an assistant coach. Thanks to the strong start under Häberli FC Luzern reported back impressively in the fight for Europe. Before Matchday 27, the gap to fourth-placed FC Zurich is just four goals. The return to Europe is definitely within reach. In addition, Luzern is still in the semi-finals of the Swiss Helvetia Cup.
In the match against FC Basel FC Luzern surprised with a very destructive style of play. In the games before, the offensive urgency was clearly felt, but before the self-confident Koller-Eleven Luzern had apparently great respect. Own offensive actions were barely recognizable throughout the game. Until the 80th minute, the own zero could be kept. After a standard Basel captain Marek Suchy used a rebound, however, to score 1-0 of the guests.
“What made us strong in the last few games, we missed. We could not act as a team. ” – Marvin Schulz
Despite the late goal, one can speak of a well-deserved defeat for Luzern. It is now eagerly awaited whether Häberli will once again commit to a very defensive basic concept against the Young Boys – or, once again, give preference to the victorious, offensive trophy tactic. The compact defensive behavior and the fast Umschaltspiel, with which Luzern had success before the international break, did not exist against FC Basel. Midfielder Schulz (formerly Gladbach) saved after the game not with self-criticism of their own performance. However, Luzern does not have much time to worry about that, because the next highlight is already waiting. And for a home win between Luzern and the Young Boys rates of up to 3.70 are offered. The “FCL” is the only national YBB conqueror in the current season.
Expected formation of Luzern:
➤ Zibung – Sidler, Cirkovic, Lucas, Grether – Voca, Schulz – Schürpf, Ndenge, Schneuwly – Eleke

Young Boys – Statistics & Current Form
Qualitatively, the Young Boys have been playing for months as the number one player in Swiss football. But the run of success in the last two seasons is not exclusively due to the individual class of players, but above all to the mentality and character of the YBB players. Spring 2019 is basically a show-off for the Young Boys. The championship was already decided at Christmas. Of a “Schlendrian”, however, is not felt, the Young Boys still show the irrepressible will to succeed. A point loss would be anything but a broken leg. The Seoane Elf craves success and never gives up. The best example of this is the match last weekend against the aspens of FC Sankt Gallen. The champions had to run behind at home twice. Nevertheless, not only the second defeat of the season was averted in the Super League, but veteran Guillaume Hoarau was able to fix the winning goal in injury time with his third goal this afternoon. Out of 78 possible points, the Young Boys did not collect less than 69 points!
Nevertheless, in the spring of 2019 YBB presents itself a little differently than in autumn. At that time, the Seoane-Elf celebrated a few victories, but in this calendar year the champion presents himself as a minimalist. In the eight Super League games there were six wins and two draws. Four times, the league leaders were able to prevail with only one goal difference – and in these four games, the winning goal was scored in each injury time. The will to win is certainly the greatest strength of the old and new master in 2019.
For the rest of the season, the Young Boys can still break some records. The scoring record (86 points) and the goal record (93 goals) of FC Basel two years ago are tangible. The earliest championship title in Super League history (so far this is April 28th) is within your grasp. These potential records are another motivation and the revenge cravings after two defeats against FC Luzern also provide a clear motivation for the match on Thursday. Between Luzern and the Young Boys is a prediction on the away win, despite the two defeats in this Season, obvious.
Expected lineup of Young Boys:
➤ Wolfli – Benito, Camara, from Bergen, Mbabu – Sow, Lauper, Aebischer – Fassnascht, Hoarau, Assale
Last Games by Young Boys:
⚽️ 31.03.2019 – Young Boys vs. St. Gallen 3: 2 (Super League)

⚽️ 09.03.2019 – Grasshoppers vs. Young Boys 0: 1 (Super League)

Luzern vs Young Boys Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights
The FC Luzern is something of the Young Boys’ fears in the current season. After the capital city side won all four direct duels on the way to winning the title in the 2017/18 season, it put already two bitter pills against the Luzern FC for the reigning champions this season. The first return of YBB coach Gerardo Seoane to Luzern (was there in the previous year coach) was the favorite with 3: 2 win. With the same result ended the second season duel on the artificial turf in the Stade de Suisse – this time, however, had the underdog from Luzern the better end for himself and added to the master’s only league defeat. The second defeat on the national stage was for the Young Boys in the Cup quarter-finals. Under new coach Thomas Häberli Luzern could outclass in the swisspoarena the master and fixed with a 4: 0 the entry into the semifinals!

The lightness of the autumn was a little lost at the Young Boys 2019. Football is and remains a result sport and with 20 points from eight games whining is not really justified. The champion shows irrepressible will to win and thus enforces again and again victories in the final stages. Gerardo Seoane is certainly warned against his ex-club and after the two defeats, the time has come for the revenge.
