The final sprint in the Super League begins

19/03/2018 written by Marco Mäder
Final spurt in the Super League! There are still ten rounds to go. The championship at the top of the table has probably already been decided. Bern's Young Boys are in a commanding first place, while FC Basel is in second place.

What YB coach Adi Hütter and his team are showing this season is impressive. The capital can finally look forward to another title. It has been 32 years since Georges Bregy, Dario Zuffi, René Sutter and co lifted the last YB championship trophy. Now the title-less period in Bern looks set to come to an end. Who knows, maybe YB can celebrate as early as April. Because by then the race for the league title could already be definitively decided.

The situation is different at the bottom of the table. There it is likely to remain exciting until the end. Thun, Lausanne andSion are fighting to stay in the league. Lugano and GC are not quite out of the woods yet either.

The battle forEurope has also begun. Anything is possible between second and fourth place. While the2017/18 champions will have to contest one qualifying round for the Champions League this year, the runners-up will have to survive three qualifying rounds for the top flight, while the Cup winners will go straight through to the Europa League group stage, with the third-placed team having to survive two qualifying rounds and the fourth-placed team three. Who will grab these popular places? Basel, St. Gallen, Zurich or Lucerne? Or will there perhaps be a surprise after all? Excitement is guaranteed.
