Yverdon Sport vs Zürich - 20/07/24

Yverdon Sport vs Zürich Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Switzerland Super League is set to kick off on Saturday, July 20th, with Yverdon Sport hosting Zürich at the Stade Municipal de Pétange. This match marks the beginning of the new season, and both teams will be looking to start strong.

Yverdon Sport, led by coach Alessandro Mangiarratti, will be playing in front of their home crowd, where they have historically performed well. In their last four head-to-head matches against Zürich, Yverdon Sport has come out on top three times, with the most recent encounter ending 3-2 in favor of the hosts.

Both teams are currently level on points, sitting at 11th and 12th place respectively, although it's worth noting that this is due to the season being only one match old. Yverdon Sport's last game was a 4-1 defeat away to Sion, while Zürich's last outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Magdeburg.

In terms of goal-scoring, Zürich has the edge, averaging 1.6 goals per game compared to Yverdon Sport's 1 goal per game. However, when playing at home, Yverdon Sport's average goal tally increases to 3 goals per game, while Zürich's away form sees them scoring an average of 0.75 goals per game.

Bet

Considering the teams' recent performances and goal-scoring records, I would recommend a bet on Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.66. Although Yverdon Sport's home form is strong, Zürich's ability to score goals away from home could lead to an entertaining and high-scoring match. With both teams looking to start the season strongly, I believe this bet offers good value for the potential winnings.
