Bellinzona won the promotion league (3rd tier) after beating Stade Nyonnais 2-1 whilst Breitenrain who had lead the league for the majority of the season lost to FC Zurich's 2nd team. Bellinzona are a good supported team in Ticino so i'd rather see them up than Breitenrain who are essesintally Young Boys 2nd team.

Ukraine seem to be a very good passing team. a lot of threat in the middle there.

First goal is going to be vital if Scotland get I can see them going on to win comfortably.

Good luck Scotland.

Andre Breitenreiter leaves Zurich for Hoffenheim. He was sacked by Werder Bremen in his last job in Germany.

Zurich won the league by 14 points over FC Basel. Zurich had a crowd of 32,000 for the game they lifted the league trophy... I wish we had crowds like this more often Lugano won the swiss Cup with a 4-1 win over St Gallen. This is Lugano first trophy in 29 years. They'll be joined in the conference league by Young Boys and Basel. In the Challenge League Winterthuer won promotion to the top league for the first time in 40 years. Luzern beat Schaffhausen 4-2 on aggregate to remain in the Super League. The big story is that starting from the 2023/24 the Super League will be moving to 12 teams. Meaning there will be no direct relegation next season as 10th will play whoever finishes 3rd in the Challenge League for the last ticket. The one thing I don't agree with is the top two at the end of the league season will play a best of 3 series to decide the champion. I'm okay if the SFL want to copy Austria but the league title being decided by a head to head series sounds stupid to me. Young Boys rejected the proposal but weirdly Basel voted for it.

Zurich will win the league this weekend if they at least take a draw against Basel. Lausanne look certs to be going down into the Challenge League as they sit 7 points adrift at the bottom. Luzern most likely in the playoffs. The real excitement is in the Challenge League as 6 points separate the top 4. Winterthur sit top of the league with 5 games remaining. Schaffhausen would be the real story though if they won it 12 months ago they lost their licence to professional football only to win it back on appeal.

Dundee United stream has already given me a migraine with their music choice.

Be a close game but Dundee to win 1-0 and to take the H2H in the season to one win each. £12.50 on Dundee TV paid for.

Looking forward to this as a neutral outside of the Glasgow derby this is always the one I enjoy watching the most when it comes to Scottish football for some reason.

It's good to see fresh teams qualify or ones that haven't made it in a long time.

There has been some transfer day moves in the Super League the big one is Nsame has moved from Young Boys to Venezia.

Lausanne 1 - 5 St Gallen Luzern 0 - 3 Basel Sion 2 - 0 Grasshopper

Itten was always a strange one for me he was never a prolific goalscorer except for the one good season he had at St Gallen. Always seemed a bit too slow for me. Not really sure why Rangers signed him to begin with.

Zurich 1 - 0 Servette - 11,007 Zurich contuine to just see wins out and are looking more and more like a team that wins a league. Servette made it difficult for Zurich throughout the game but Zurich took their chance and saw out the game. Young Boys 1 - 0 Lugano - 22,247 Young Boys close the gap back down to 8 points with a much needed win over Lugano. Tomorrow Lausanne vs St Gallen - 14:15 Luzern vs Basel - 16:30 Sion vs Grasshopper - 16:30

Yverdon 0 - 0 Stade Lausanne-Ouchy Aarau 1 - 1 Neuchatel Xamax Vaduz have a chance to open a bit of a gap on the pack if they beat Wil tomorrow.

Swiss Super League starts tomorrow with Zurich vs Servette and Young Boys vs Lugano. Swiss Challenge league starts tonight with the return games of round 18 as Aarau host Xamax and Yverdon play Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.

Eight days until the return of swiss domestic football. Not looking forward to it Xamax are a mess we have sold our best player and the coach is arguing with the owner. If we don't get it sorted I can see us being favourites for relegation next season.

9 out of 10 Super League clubs have canceled their training camp trips due to covid. Zurich are the only ones to confirm they haven't cancelled their camp but I imagine they will as well.

Luzern are bottom but have history on their side apparently as I saw a stat where only 72% teams bottom at Christmas get relegated here. That sounds like a very high survival rate. There can't be too many other countries with such a high number when it comes to this.

Played okay at times but I think Schmid and Arigoni got the better of it down his side of the pitch.

For a neutral I enjoyed the game. Feel Celtic had the better of it but Hibernian were never out of it and made it a good game.

Sadly hearing the Duisburg game was abandoned today due to racism towards an opposition player.

Lugano 0 - 5 Young Boys - Four goals by Siebatcheu, fairly comfortable win for Young Boys. expected much more from Lugano than to be beaten heavily. Basel 2 - 2 Grasshoppers - Eventful game that could have gone either way. Grasshopper had shot blocked off the line at 2-1 and Basel hit the post at 2-2 at the end. Espisoto was sent off in the 90th minute when Basel was 2-1 down. Sion 2 - 0 Lausanne - Looks like it's turning into a three way race to avoid the bottom two (one automatic relegation, one playoff).
