On May 29, St. Jakob-Park (Basel) will host the match of the 36th round of the Super League of Switzerland, in which Basel will compete with Grasshoppers. The battle will start at 16:30 CET.

Basel

The club tried to save the season through the Conference League. There, the Swiss team, starting from qualification round in July, reached the semi-finals. It knocked out such opponents in the play-offs like Trabzonspor and Nice, moreover, the 1/2 stage started with a 2-1 success in Florence. Still, the team lost to Fiorentina with the same score at the home arena, and then conceded in extra time. Speaking about the inner arena, “the RotBlau” failed without any chances. To be honest, the club couldn’t perform successfully “at two simultaneous fronts” and eventually rolled back from the 2nd, “vice-championship” position, where it finished in the previous draw, to the so-called “equator” of the table. Moreover, May brought a 0-2 score in the battle against Zurich and a 1-6 score in the match with St. Gallen, and the team achieved a 1-1 draw in the confrontation with Lugano last Sunday. Still, even this draw allows taking the 5th place, which is outside the European tournament zone. There happened one more draw (3-3) in the match with Servette.

Grasshoppers

The club has been able to improve its performance in the current season. Speaking about the previous one, the 27-time champion of the country (it is reasonable to mention that the last time it took the gold medals was in 2003, after which there was only a victory in the Swiss Cup 2013 – by the way, it was the 19th one in a row) was close to losing its “registration” in the Super League. It had got 40 points, which is the same as Luzern collected. Still, “the Hoppers” climbed to the 8th position, sending the neighbour to the play-offs for survival, due to additional indicators. Nowadays, Giorgio Contini’s wards are actually on a par with their next, status opponent. Frankly speaking, there were too many defeats in April and May. The battle of the previous round with St. Gallen brought one more draw – 2-2.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Speaking about the current season, the clubs have played four times, and each one took per 2 wins. Moreover, Basel, when winning, scored 5 goals in each match.

Predictions
