I wonder if Xamax will rest some of their players for the Swiss Cup Final? Basel can't afford that luxury because they are chasing GCZ. Servette might be able to pull of a draw or victory. GCZ should win, but Thun have won two in a row. YB should get three points.
Early action: Both games are in the 13' minute Grasshoppers [1 - 0] Thun 8' [1 - 0] Nunez Young Boys Bern [2 - 0] Wil 4' [1 - 0] Vonlanthen 9' [2 - 0] Magnin A win by YB can go a long way to helping them qualify for the UEFA Cup. It will be interesting to see if either team bunkers down after the early goals.

For the UEFA Cup spot: YB: at Xamax vs Servette at Thun vs GCZ Servette: vs Wil at YB vs Basel at Zurich Just looking at the schedule the game on matchday 12 will be pivitol. YB have the advantage of a three point lead with 4 games remaining. YB opponets average 4th place. Servette's average 4.5 place Servette has two matches against the two worst teams left, and two of the better ones. YB have matches against the middle of the table. Too close to call right now, but I think that YB have the edge.
