Zurich vs Young Boys team news and expert analysis
The Zurich club collected just 38 points last season, but that was enough to finish in a safe tenth place. They have also tended to lose more often than they win at the start of the current campaign, although they opened their cup campaign with a 2-1 victory over modest Tuggen. After losing to Basel, they managed to overcome Lausanne in the latest round.
