Young Boys vs Grasshoppers Betting Tips: Young Boys to Win
Knocked out of the UEFA's second-tier competition by Lisbon's Sporting with a total loss of 2-4 has definitely taken its toll on the Yellow-Blacks, who still can't shake off the remnants of that European blow, as they've produced a string of dreadful results recently.
Shortly after bringing the curtains down on their continental adventure, Young Boys experienced an untimely exit in the Swiss Cup, as they succumbed to a shocking 1-2 defeat against second-division side Sion in the quarter-finals, bidding farewell to their title defense.
Making the plot even more dramatic, results at the top-flight level have flipped upside down for Young Boys, as the ruthless 5-1 annihilation of Basel emerged as the lone beacon of hope across the last five Super League clashes for the Swiss champions, enduring three agonizing losses in the process.
Plummeting into an unparalleled crisis of results, Young Boys have hit a brick wall in their pursuit of a sixth title in the last seven seasons, as the closest chaser Servette has closed the gap to just one point behind the capital giants with only four remaining rounds in the regular season.
With no wins and no goals in two back-to-back Super League fixtures, interim boss Joel Magning will be calling for a powerful reaction from his team, confident that his demands will be met, particularly as YB shines in their home clashes, earning six wins out of their last seven at the Wankdorf Stadium.
Standing in the way of the reigning champions is the most decorated Swiss club Grasshopper, which has long ceased to resemble its former dominant force, with the current situation boiling down to preparing for yet another desperate battle against relegation, as they currently sit second from bottom with 30 points in the bag from 29 rounds.
As a 27-time national champion, but with their last title lifted 21 years ago, the Hoppers couldn't have brewed a more toxic atmosphere ahead of the visit from the capital giant, given their winless streak stretching to five matches since the last time-out, when they succumbed to a 0-1 home defeat against Lausanne.
The dull edge in the final third of the field has been particularly hampering Brendon Berner's men from producing better results, with their entry into the scoresheet limited to just four occasions in the last nine top-flight outings. Another blank on the scoresheet could be in store for them during the midweek fixture, especially after falling to identical narrow 0-1 defeats at the hands of the Young Boys both times this season. We expecting the Yellow-Blacks to shake off their recent setbacks by sprinting to a comfortable victory.

Grasshoppers team news
Substituted during the first half of their side's 0-1 loss to Lausanne, Lithuanian defender Kristers Tobers faces fitness tests to determine his availability for the upcoming fixture.
The trio comprising Meritan Shabani, Awer Mabil (2nd top scorer - 4G), and Damian Nigg have been sidelined for an extended period due to their injury woes, with 19-year-old Dijon Kameri recently joining them after picking up an injury in the 1-1 draw against St. Gallen on March 16.
