In that game, KuPS had 52% possession and 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for KuPS was Axel Vidjeskog (19'). At the other end, FC Honka got 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
The numbers tell their own story, and KuPS have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 9 goals in total. In defence, KuPS have seen their frailties exposed. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
Fabian Lustenberger (Unknown Injury), Filip Ugrinic (Unknown Injury), Sandro Lauper (Unknown Injury), Leandro Zbinden (Surgery), Kevin Rüegg (Unknown Injury), Ulisses Garcia (Hamstring Injury) and Christian Fassnacht (Knee Injury) won’t be available for BSC Young Boys manager Raphaël Wicky.
With a fully injury-free group ready to go, the KuPS manager Simo Valakari does not have any fitness concerns to report before this game.
One thing is for certain, KuPS may well find it hard to be scoring even one goal against a BSC Young Boys outfit who have all the attributes to really run this game.
We predict a 3-0 margin for BSC Young Boys when all is said and done.
