There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Basel leading Lausanne Sport by 8 points.
- Basel has the fewest points from losing position (1) in Super League
- Lausanne Sport is in the worst form (1-1-4)
The hosts Basel saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Swiss Cup. That game was an away game at Winterthur, so at least Basel are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Basel form and stats
Basel, who have the most conceded goals (17) at home in Super League, have played 10 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-2 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
No payout for Basel in their previous match, an away game at Winterthur that ended in defeat 2-6. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Zurich (0-2).
As you see from the result above, Basel suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Basel have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost two.
The Basel fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 10 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Basel defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Lausanne Sport form and stats
Lausanne Sport have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-5-4 (10 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Lausanne are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Lausanne are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Super League against Servette (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Young Boys wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Lausanne have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were zero victories, zero draws and one defeat.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Swiss Cup trip to Grasshopper.
Lausanne have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 10 goals have been scored. Lausanne's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Lausanne Sport - Basel 1-3. Last ten meetings between the teams: Basel won eight, Lausanne Sport won one and one draw. nine games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
