The Super League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Basel and Lausanne Sport are placed 5th and 2nd respectively.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
