Because Fabio Celestini (48) missed the big win over YB during his suspension, assistant coach Martin Rueda (61) will step in on Saturday evening. “He has more experience as a head coach. But he and Davide Callà will work together,” said Celestini, explaining his decision. But where will the Vaudois themselves watch the match? “I need my rest, that’s why I’m in a box.”

Tim Meyer, Liam Bollati, Elvir Zukaj (Cup) and Damian Nigg: Four homegrown players have already made their debuts in the rankings this season. And according to coach Bruno Berner, that number will likely increase by the end of the season. This also has to do with the tense personnel situation of the Hoppers. The youth craze will probably appeal to the new American owners. During the takeover by the GC, it was emphasized several times that the Academy needed to be strengthened again.

After the departure of YB legend Jean-Pierre Nsame to Italy, the end of an era is in sight. Since the 2018/19 season, the top scorer crown in the Super League has had a permanent place in Bern: Nsame, Guillaume Hoarau and Jordan Siebatcheu were the winners three times. This year the coveted object will probably have to be reined in. FCZ striker Jonathan Okita (9 goals this season) currently has the best chance of winning the coveted prize, closely followed by Chadrac Akolo from St. Gallen (8). The best YB goal scorer is Meschack Elia (5).

Ten points from the last five games – only leader YB can keep up with FC Lugano’s record. But now things are getting bitter for the team from Ticino: During the week it turned out that both midfielder Ousmane Doumbia and winger Ignacio Aliseda will be out for more than a month due to injuries. Shortly before the away match in St. Gallen the following bad news: director Mattia Bottani also has to take a break for a few weeks. After all, Lugano faces his favorite opponent in Eastern Switzerland; No other team has recorded more wins against St. Gallen since the Super League was founded in 2003 (16).

Italian mega talent Simone Pafundi has been under contract with Lausanne-Sport since Thursday. However, the 17-year-old will not make his Super League debut against Lucerne on Sunday. Because the league has not yet received all the documents for an international transfer. But that should be the case early this week. The new number 30 from Lausanne will appear for the first time before a Swiss audience on Wednesday during the guest appearance in Zurich.
