Basel form and stats

Basel have played three Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Basel's previous fixture was a Europa Conference League game also played at home, finishing 3-1 vs Pyunik. The home team are looking to continue in that form. Burger (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.33/10. Burger scored two goals and had 53 successful passes (of 64 total).

A Super League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Sion.

There will be little rest for Basel after this match as they are travelling to Zalgiris for a Europa Conference League game in only four days.

Basel have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic.
