Young Boys vs Basel Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With a 62% prospect of triumphing according to the 1x2 odds, Young Boys are favourites to come out on top in this Super League clash and they’re available at -164 with the bookmakers. The market suggests that FC Basel are least likely to win at +340.

One way of getting with Young Boys is taking them at -112 on the Asian Handicap -1. You’re successful if they beat Basel by two goals and get money back if the margin is just one.

Over 2.5 Goals is the shortest odds and that means three goals or more are anticipated. If you think both teams will score, then you can back BTTS Yes at -286.
