Basel form and stats
4-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Basel so far this season. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at St. Jakob-Park, but a victory now would be sweet for Basel.
Basel are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus St. Gallen. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lausanne Sport that ended 0-0.
There will be little rest for Basel after this match as they are travelling to Servette for a Super League game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Basel in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 11 league matches. Basel have conceded 17 from these games.
Young Boys form and stats

In general it has been a productive period now for Young Boys as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Sion game have they lost an away game, meaning Young has taken points from eleven away matches in a row.
