Football Bet of the Day: Young Boys to go wild with Basel

Young Boys v Basel
Saturday 19:00

We move to Switzerland today in a state of mild shock. For only the second time in 19 games, Melbourne City served up fewer than three goals. 1-1 it finished with Brisbane this morning.

But we've found our pick-me-up. It's first versus second in the Super League, and this is a big game that might actually live up to the hype. Basel's last three trips to Young Boys have yielded 18 goals in total. Five of their last six visits have brought Over 3.5 Goals individually and we're hopeful of another lively encounter this evening.

Fifteen points clear at the summit, Basel can afford to go all out for an eighth win in nine away games. On all eight previous away days this term they've scored at least twice. Since Urs Fischer took over at the start of last season, 15/26 of Basel's away games have delivered Over 3.5 Goals.

Adi Hutter's Young Boys are showing an even stronger trend: 15/23 have gone Over 3.5 Goals at Stade de Suisse. In the current campaign, the hosts have seen an average of five goals a game (40 in 8) and we like the generous odds-against price on an early December cracker tonight.
