Their home form has been particularly impressive, with the team winning 83% of their recent six matches.
Standard Liege, on the other hand, has been struggling for consistency, with their last three matches all ending in draws. Their defensive solidity has been noteworthy, with under 2.5 goals hitting in their last nine matches. This suggests a low-scoring affair could be on the cards.

Young Boys’ home form makes them clear favorites, despite Servette’s resilience in recent meetings. The champions will be eager to start their title defense with a convincing win in front of their home supporters.
