Action continues in round 18 of Swiss Super League as Young Boys and Grasshopper Zurich lock horns at the Wankdorf Stadion on Wednesday. Gerardo Seoane’s side are without a win in their last four games against Grasshopper (2D 2L) and will head into the midweek tie looking to end this dry patch.
Young Boys turned in another solid team display on Sunday when they secured a 2-0 victory over Luzern in their league clash at the Wankdorf Stadion.
Prior to that, Seoane’s men moved into 21st place in the Europa League table with an impressive 1-0 victory over French side LOSC Lille on December 11, a result which saw their three-game winless run (1D 2L) come to an end.
Young Boys have won eight of their 17 Super League matches so far, while losing four and claiming five draws to collect 29 points and sit third in the league standings.
