After league round 1 it's Basel - Winterthur 0-1 in points. Who will achieve victory in this second Super League fixture of the season?

Little time to rest for the team playing at home, as they featured in a Europa Conference League match only three days back. This match was also played here at St. Jakob-Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Winterthur have had more rest.

Prior to that, an away loss at St. Gallen in the Super League.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Basel's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Basel as they are travelling to their away game against Tobol in the Europa Conference League. That match is four days after this one.
