Super League, Sunday, 21.07.2024 at 14:15
After Switzerland’s convincing performance at the 2024 European Championship, the hype train should not stop again. After all, the daily league routine now continues.
The first matchday kicks off on Sunday afternoon with the reigning champions and the promoted side from the canton of Valais.
And of course, my Young Boys Sion betting tip assumes a clear advantage for the home side, who should record a clear victory here
After the season is before the season. And the old one was not an easy one for the men from the capital, even though they won the championship at the end.
This is because the club parted ways with Raphael Wicky in March. The considerable lead the club had at one point dwindled rapidly after just one win from seven games
U21 coach Joel Magnin took over and turned the team around. He won 5:1 against FC Basel on his first day in charge.
In the end, YB became champions with a commanding 12-point lead over Lugano. Everything was back on track, and now a new coach in Patrick Rahmen is set to continue what has been built up
The visitors were also crowned champions. But in the second division. Because they were directly promoted back to the first division.
The reason for this is relatively easy to find: They played with a very homogeneous team and got the best out of their players.
They conceded just 23 goals in the entire previous season. Will they be able to show similar stability in the Super League?
The bookmakers at Interwetten are skeptical in their Young Boys Sion betting tip. The odds for over 2.5 home goals are around 2.20.
However, coach Didier Tholot’s men should not be underestimated. The 60-year-old Frenchman often managed to set the team up well last season anyway.
Especially on foreign grounds. Because they only conceded eight goals there! The away games were therefore also the ones with the fewest goals in the entire league (2.4 per game)
However, it remains to be seen whether they can implement this control-focused and calm soccer in the Premier League.
At least the bookies at Sportwetten.de are not expecting a low-scoring game in their predictions for the Young Boys Sion betting tip.
Before kick-off, the odds for a game with over 3.5 goals are around 2.20. This is certainly also due to the fact that YB scored 44 goals in the 16 home games of the regular season
But, as we all know, it’s the first game of the season and the first thing to do is to see how the mechanisms mesh and how departures can be compensated for.
Fabian Lustenberger, a player who was perhaps no longer so important on the pitch, retired in the summer. But a leader in the dressing room
Who will now take his place is still unclear. In the center of the attack, however, it will once again come down to Meschack Elia. The Congolese was often a fixture last year.
He could ensure that YB get off to a lightning start. At NEObet sports betting, you’ll find odds of around 1.70 for your Young Boys Sion tip should the home side score the first goal
Although it’s a duel between the champions and a promoted team, it’s still a duel between two champions. When is there ever such a thing at the start of a new season?
The visitors will naturally try to take the momentum and euphoria with them. They already beat the supposed favorites at the end of February. This time, however, I think the hosts are too strong.
Therefore, my Young Boys Sion betting tip is: YB will win by at least two goals
