Superliga teams in the big form check Many question marks at YB ++ Winti on a winning spree ++ FCZ like a squeezed lemon

After the European Championship is before the Super League. From Saturday, the top Swiss league will once again be fighting for points. Here you can find out how the teams have performed in preparation.

Many question marks for champions YB

At YB, not everything has come together yet in the test matches. The champions played two test matches on Saturday, with the first team winning 1-0 against Aarau thanks to a penalty goal from Silvère Ganvoula. The second team, on the other hand, went down 3-1 against Wil. Patrick Rahmen still has a few things to adjust in the last few days before the start of the season, otherwise his first competitive match as YB coach could end in failure.

Lugano set an exclamation mark against Parma

Runners-up Lugano sent out a signal to the competition with a 3-1 test match win against Serie A promoted Parma. The 24-year-old Argentinian Ignacio Aliseda is in good form, scoring in three of four games.

Servette lose last test

Servette have a new man on the sidelines in Thomas Häberli. The first two test matches under the 50-year-old ended in victories, but the dress rehearsal against Challenge League relegation rivals Étoile Carouge came to nothing. Servette have to play away at Luzern on Sunday, followed three days later by a home game against champions YB.

Does FCZ have enough juice in the tank again?

At the end of the training camp, FC Zurich played two 90-minute matches against 1. FC Magdeburg in Benningen in the Allgäu region. The first test, in which the supposedly stronger players are allowed to play, is lost 0:4. "We are a team that wants to win, that's a huge disappointment," said FCZ coach Ricardo Moniz after the game. However, the defeat doesn't leave him at a loss: "Of course we trained really hard." The players had squeezed them like lemons, said the 60-year-old Dutchman. The second game that day against the same opponent ended with a conciliatory 1:1.

Mixed results for FC St.Gallen

For the first time since 2018, FC St.Gallen will not start a Super League season with Peter Zeidler as coach. Enrico Maassen is the new man on the sidelines, and it is hoped that he will provide similarly attractive football. FCSG have yet to make an irresistible impression in the test matches.

Winterthur boosts self-confidence

Six test matches, six wins and a goal difference of 18:3 - FC Winterthur are making a strong impression in their preparations. The team, now coached by former assistant coach Ognjen Zarić, has not conceded a goal in its last four games. The FC Winterthur players should at least not be lacking in confidence.

Lucerne make a solid impression

Lucerne drew 0-0 with German runners-up Stuttgart at the end of their preparations. Admittedly, the team has little in common with the one that caused a sensation in the Bundesliga last season. Mario Frick's team has not lost any of its four test matches and appears to be ready for the new season.

Basel makes a solid impression

FC Basel are keen to make amends after a disastrous season (8th place in the final table). And the signs are not bad, as Fabio Celestini has already revived the team at the end of last season. In the last of the four test matches (2 wins, 2 draws), the indestructible Fabian Frei scored the only FCB goal.

Yverdon fails dress rehearsal

Yverdon suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against newly promoted Sion at the end of their preparations. A warning shot at the right time or a harbinger of what awaits Yverdon in the coming season?

Lausanne-Sport vulnerable defensively

Lausanne-Sport conceded nine goals in the first four test matches, which is a few too many. However, Ludovic Magnin's team finished with a 3-0 win against Challenge League side Xamax. The first match against Basel will probably show how stable the defense really is.

The GC engine is still faltering

GC averted relegation in the barrage against Thun in extremis. Amir Abrashi's post-match interview, which is too good to let gather dust in the archives, is unforgettable. Will GC carry this momentum into the new season? After the test matches, the impression is that the Hoppers are facing another difficult season.

Never a dull moment with Sion

Sion have suffered two defeats and two big wins during their preparations. There's never a dull moment in the promoted team's matches. But there's no need to worry about boredom in Valais anyway - Christian Constantin will see to that.
