BSC Young Boys return to European action on Thursday when they take on Ligue 1 visitors Lille.
The hosts come into this Europa League contest now winless in three games while an in-form Lille make the short trip to Switzerland in search of a fifth successive victory.
Both teams have posted mixed results in the competition so far, and now set for their first-ever encounter, will be desperate to claim a vital win in Bern.
BSC Young Boys team overview
BSC Young Boys turn their attention to the Europa League after a disappointing 2:0 defeat against Sion in the Swiss Super League last weekend.
Now winless in three games, Gerardo Seoane's side have struggled to capture their best form this season and in recent weeks. Young Boys failed to win six of their eight most recent fixtures since the end of October.
Placed fourth domestically, the Swiss hosts have been in mixed form in the Europa League, winning two but losing three of five games played. BSC sit 26th in the competition, three points behind Lille.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Young Boys this season. All but two of their last 12 games finished with at least three goals scored. Four of five Europa League games played also finished with over 2.5 goals.
Head coach Seoane has four players missing for Thursday's fixture. Facinet Conte, Edimilson Fernandes and Ebrima Colley remain sidelined while Armin Gigović is suspended.

Lille team overview
Lille return to Europa League action in high spirits after a vital 1:0 win against Ligue 1 title-challengers Marseille last weekend. Ethan Mbappé's first-half goal proved the difference at Decathlon Arena - Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Les Dogues have been in fine form in recent weeks, picking up four successive victories including impressive home wins against Dinamo Zagreb (4:0) and Paris FC (4:2).
A high-scoring road win could be on the cards on Thursday. Lille won each of their last four games, while Young Boys have seen at least three goals scored in all but one of five Europa League games this season. Three of Lille's last five Europa League games also finished with over 2.5 goals.
Head coach Bruno Genesio has four confirmed absentees this week. Injured quartet Ousmane Touré, Calvin Verdonk, Alexsandro Ribeiro and Marc-Aurele Caillard are ruled out for the away side.

Prediction
Goals can usually be relied upon when Young Boys are involved, and I expect more of the same in Thursday's Europa League matchup.
Over 2.5 goals is my best bet at Wankdorf Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Over 2.5 Goals
- BSC Young Boys have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches
- BSC Young Boys have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (Europa League)
- Lille have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches (Europa League)
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
