FC Thun host BSC Young Boys on Saturday evening in a Swiss Super League contest.
Both sides made winning starts to the new campaign, with Thun claiming a fine road victory at Luzern while Young Boys saw off Sion in a high-scoring home win.
Thun enjoyed a remarkable title-winning campaign last season and look to build on last season’s victory against a Young Boys expected to mount a strong bid to win back the Super League campaign.
Young Boys also looked sharp in their opener, but defensive issues remain, and goals could be on the cards in Thun.

FC Thun team overview
FC Thun return to home soil after making a strong start to the new Swiss Super League season.
The reigning champions claimed a 3:1 win away to Luzern last weekend, picking up where they left off after last season’s stunning title success.Nicolas Bürgy scored twice in the second period to secure a comeback victory.
Thun then saw their UCL qualification campaign halted with a narrow 3:2 defeat against Dinamo Zagreb, ensuring a 4:3 aggregate defeat earlier this week.
Despite securing their first Swiss title, the hosts have struggled to find their best form in past months. Gian Luca Privitelli’s side failed to win ten of their last 12 matches.
High-scoring outcomes have been a recurring theme for Privitelli’s side. Each of their last nine games finished with both teams scoring, while nine goals were scored in their two most recent fixtures.
Head coach Privitelli is unable to call on Marco Bürki who is suspended.

BSC Young Boys team overview
Young Boys travel to Thun after opening their league campaign with a 4:2 home win against Sion. Samuel Essende scored twice to secure the spoils for BSC.
Lewin Blum and Alvyn Sanches gave Gerry Seoane’s side a 2:0 lead before Sion fought back to level, but Samuel Essende scored twice in the second half to secure all three points.
High-scoring outcomes have also been frequent for the visitors. A remarkable tally of 26 goals were scored in their four most recent league games since the end of last season.
Young Boys showed plenty of attacking quality against Sion, but conceding twice at home suggests they could be vulnerable again against the champions.
Alan Virginius was forced off with an adductor injury in the first half of last weekend’s win, making him a doubt for Saturday’s trip to Thun.
