There are still nine rounds to be played in the Super League. There are still 27 points up for grabs. YB is currently 17 points ahead of Servette. One can certainly begin to calculate when the fifth title will be set in stone six years from now.
The arithmetic results are as follows: This cannot happen in the next round. Even if YB wins in Basel and “chaser” Servette loses to Lugano. YB would then have 20 points more than Geneva. Eight laps before the end is not enough.
Three teams are potential spoilsports
What about the 29th round? Assuming YB beats Servette in the head-to-head on April 22, the lead rises to 23 points. And with seven rounds left, the Grenats would be out of the picture. “Danger” could still come from those teams that could be one point behind Servette for this round: St. Gallen, Lucerne and Lugano. If one of these three teams wins its next two games, the champagne in Bern will have to go back in the fridge…
Because: YB would then have 21 points ahead of this team. In theory, the Bernese could still gamble away this reserve. And also the world’s better goal difference. Gray theory, of course. But that’s how it goes in sports: as long as something is not supported by arithmetic, there is no party.
But if none of the trio of St. Gallen, Lucerne and Lugano wins twice, all dams would break in Wankdorf on April 22 – in the 29th of 36 laps. Would that be the earliest championship point in Super League history?
It would be the triple for YB
Yes! However, the 2022/23 YB team should share this record with… no, not FC Basel. But with the YB teams of 2018/19 (April 13, Sofameister after a 0-0 between Basel and GC) and 2020/21 (April 18, after a 3-0 against Lugano). The 2019 championship team had replaced FC Basel as the record holder. In the 2016/17 season, in the 30th round after a 2-1 win in Lucerne, he won the eighth championship in a row. A hegemony that YB broke afterwards.
Zesiger and Wicky are cold
But the triple as the earliest champion doesn’t really interest YB. “It is now important to take the three points in Basel,” said the hero of the classification duel, Cédric Zesiger, who was suspended on Sunday. “And then we’ll see.” Coach Raphael Wicky doesn’t say much on the subject either – as is usually the case: “Any player can read the table and see the points lead. But it would be totally wrong to feel too safe. As long as it’s not done mathematically , we’re not celebrating.”
But the big yellow-black party will certainly come. And probably in April, when there are still four rounds to play. Triple or not.
