- Competition: Super League
- Date: Thursday, 15th May, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
- Venue: Stadion Wankdorf (Bern)
On Thursday evening, two teams battling for European spots next season, Young Boys and Luzern, will face off against each other at Stadion Wankdorf in Bern.
Young Boys won the previous two league titles and six of the last seven! Unfortunately, they are not at the desired level as they failed to win the title. However, they have a motive in the remaining three games, considering they are trying to secure second place and the Champions League Qualifiers. Right now, they are in third place with 54 points - two away from that second place, but also three points away from dropping to the last (sixth) place in the Championship Group.
Luzern made big progress compared to last year, when they ended up in the Relegation Group. This year, they looked like they could even secure the Champions League. However, they are in bad form, winning just once in the last six. Because of that bad stretch, they dropped to 4th place with 52 points. But still, they are four points away from the second-placed Servette, and with a potential win here, they might have a chance for that second place. After the Young Boys game, Luzern will face Servette and Basel.
Young Boys vs Luzern pick: Under 3.5 goals
Young Boys are in really bad form, having won once in the last six matches. During that five-game stretch, they scored only six goals - one per game. That is 0.46 goals per game less than their season's average. They even lost the Cup Semi-Finals to Biel 1:0 after the ET. So, we do not expect a great offensive display in this match either.
Just like Young Boys, Luzern are struggling as well. In the last three games, they won one point and scored just two goals. Also, away from home, they have been pretty bad, and we do not believe them despite winning the previous h2h game against Young Boys 5:0. That was a strange game where Young Boys received a red card and Luzern were a bit lucky to score some of the goals.
Both teams are in terrible form, and considering the importance of the game, we strongly believe that an under 3.5 goals bet should be the safest option for this Super League tie.

Luzern team news
Midfielder Nicky Beloko served his one-game suspension in the previous game against Lausanne and will be available. The 25-year-old has been an important part of the rotation in recent matches, and his return should be a significant plus for the visitors.
Regarding the injuries, the players who missed the previous games, Sofyan Chader and Jesper Lofgren, should remain sidelined.
