A chess match of pressing versus possession
Giorgio Contini’s Young Boys are in the midst of a transition into a high-pressing side that can hurt teams in the transition. Lugano are a possession-first team who build patiently from the back, look to control tempo through the midfield and create overloads in wide areas. This should be a fascinating tactical chess game, and our BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Lugano prediction suggests that Young Boys’ pressing style and current form could give them the edge.
Young Boys have won 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions (D1, L1), while Lugano have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5. The BSC Young Boys Bern vs FC Lugano preview indicates that Young Boys have 1 win and 1 draw in the last two meetings with Lugano, who have failed to win either of their trips to this ground.
Young Boys to continue strong start to the campaign

Darian Males is Young Boys’ top scorer in the Super League with 2 goals in 4 matches, but Chris Bedia has been in lethal form for his side with 3 of their last 6 goals across all competitions.
