Competition: Switzerland Super League
Competition: Sun 07.August
Match begins: 14:30 (UTC)
Venue: St. Jakob-Park (37994 seats)

Another appealing game in the Super League. Basel is in the 7th place after featuring in two matches. They welcome Young Boys who are placed 1st after three matches.

This arena has grass, which is not Young Boys's normal surface at their own football stadium. When playing on grass Young Boys have performed like this: Played 42 matches with the outcome 17 wins, 13 draws and 12 defeats with the goal numbers 78-55 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Basel nor Young Boys as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Basel form and stats

A Super League draw at home so far for Basel. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 8 draws and 2 defeats from 18 matches.

The regulars are hoping that Basel will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Europa Conference League fixture against Brøndby. Midfielder Adams was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.35 (out of ten) in that game. Adams had 53 successful passes (of 62 total).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Basel, as the Europa Conference League home game vs Brøndby is only four days away.

Early season league goal statistics from Basel's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Grasshopper in the Super League.

A new game in only four days for Young Boys, the Europa Conference League home match versus KuPS. Busy days.
