Young Boys vs Xamax tips and predictions

Xamax won't make a dent in Young Boys

A headline-grabbing display of the home side's ability to execute under pressure could cause plenty of problems throughout this game. This is a match destined for at least a few goals so this should be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

The visitors come up a level to take on Young Boys.

Only dedicated Young Boys fans will be confident about backing the favourites at such a short price, although there's not much chance of any other outcome. There's nothing tempting about the big Xamax price either.

The hosts start the match with 6 wins in their last 7 games.

The hosts are enjoying some form on their own paddock. Young Boys scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 6 home matches and that's been compounded at the back. In defence they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 6 games. No doubt they'll see this as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

The last time these two sides met was in September when Young Boys won with a 1-0 scoreline so they'll be seeking a repeat performance. That results means that Young Boys have won 12 of the last 14 fixtures between these sides. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats give reasons to be confident in them.

With the superiority of Young Boys it is likely that they keep Xamax out of contention. The Both Teams To Score market doesn't offer much in this fixture. But the No BTTS bet seems fair enough. When there is an apparent gulf in class, games can take an unpredictable turn. The analysis in this preview will depend on how the visitors adapt to a higher standard of the sport.
