The hosts were last in action when they claimed a 2-1 comeback win over Servette on home turf in December 2024.

The 23-year-old completed his brace three minutes into the second half to help Young Boys claim all three points.
Winterthur, meanwhile, fell to a 4-3 defeat at home to Luzern in their last league game. Thibault Klidje and Donat Rrudhani scored either side of Antoine Baroan to put the visitors 2-1 up by the 23rd minute.
