Lausanne-Sports vs BSC Young Boys Bern – top of the table clash
Standings and context
Lausanne-Sports sit 2nd in the Super League 2026-2027 standings with 4 points from 2 games, while BSC Young Boys Bern are the early leaders with 6 points from 2 matches and so Saturday's encounter at the Stade de la Tuiliere, Switzerland should be an interesting clash between two teams in the early stages of their development.
Tactical setups
Luka Elsner's Lausanne-Sports have been much better defensively in the current campaign, building a compact, counter-aware possession game around a 4-2-3-1 that aims to slow the game down and pick opponents off on the counter. Florent Mollet remains their end-product man and has scored 1 goal in 2 Super League 2026/2027 games, but there is a clear focus on team play this time around.
Gerardo Seoane's Young Boys are playing with a real spring in their step after a 5-match win streak and Young Boys appear to have recaptured their attacking identity. Young Boys will set up to play a direct, high-tempo and press-friendly brand of soccer that looks to hunt turnovers and overload the centre, while Samuel Essende is the key threat and he has already scored 4 goals in just 2 Super League 2026/2027 matches (he scored 5 of Young Boys' last 16 team goals).
Back both teams to score in a live match
The clash of styles should suit Lausanne-Sports as they want to keep the game slow, while Young Boys' preferred game state is vertical and frantic.
- The odds suggest that Young Boys are a short odds to win here, at 2.38, which is just slightly ahead of Lausanne-Sports' 2.55, and that's without considering the draw at 3.95!
- The visitors are certainly in the better form and they have looked lethal on their travels in the Super League 2026-2027 (1-0-0).
- However, Lausanne-Sports will fancy their chances of making a match of it on their own patch, they have a solid home record so far with one draw and zero losses, and they won 2 of the 3 previous home H2Hs.
- With Omar Janneh pulling the strings in the midfield, Lausanne should get enough to cause problems for the visitors, and with 1.00 goals per home game on average, over 2.5 goals at 1.4 looks like a decent fit for a fast-paced game.
- Both Teams To Score at 1.35 also appeals here as there will be chances at both ends.
