Basel
Once the most recognizable Swiss club, dominating domestic football, Basel now faces tougher competition. This season, however, has been a positive one so far, as the team leads the league after 15 rounds, edging Lugano only on goal difference.
The team’s high-scoring nature stands out, netting an impressive 38 goals in 15 matches. In their last game, Basel secured a crucial 3-1 home victory against direct competitor Servette, highlighted by a hat-trick from veteran star Xherdan Shaqiri. The race for the title is tight, with just a three-point gap between the top four teams.
Lausanne
Lausanne currently sits sixth in the table after 15 matches, five points adrift of the leaders—a manageable gap. In their most recent outing, they defeated Sion 1-0 at home, scoring the decisive goal late in the game.
The team endured a slow start to the season but is now gaining momentum. Lausanne has won five of their last six matches, showcasing excellent form. While contending for the title seems ambitious, a spot in European competition is a realistic goal.
Possible Lineups
Basel: Hitz, Mendes, Barisic, Vouilloz, Schmid, Avdullahu, Baro, Shotichek, Shaqiri, Traore, Kevin.
Lausanne: Letica, Jiger, Sow, Dussenne, Poaty, Sanches, Roch, Bernede, Oku, Aydini, De La Fuente.
Match Facts
- Basel has won 5 and lost 2 of their 7 home matches this season.
- Lausanne struggles away from home, with just 1 win, 2 draws, and 4 losses.
- Odds: Basel win: 1.85, Draw: 3.8, Lausanne win: 4.0
Head-to-Head
Basel hasn’t beaten Lausanne in six consecutive official games. Last season, Lausanne drew 0-0 away and won 3-2 at home.
Prediction
Given the current league standings and form of both teams, a competitive and unpredictable match is expected. Basel is the favorite, but earning three points won’t be straightforward. I recommend a bet on over 2.5 goals, which seems like a solid option.
