A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 7th place in the table will show on the pitch.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Basel form and stats
The story so far for Basel at their home stadium (St. Jakob-Park) is 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. Basel haven’t lost a game in 17 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Young Boys. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at St. Jakob-Park, but a victory now would be sweet for Basel.Basel are returning here after visiting St. Gallen in a Super League game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Before that match, a Swiss Cup win away at Zürich.
A decent goal production from Basel in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 15 matches. Basel have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Zürich form and stats
There's been little loot from Zürich's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 15 away games. Zürich only has 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Zürich have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Luzern game.The supporters enjoyed Zürich's previous game versus Sion, a Super League 1-0 win played at home. A loss against Basel was the result prior to that, in a Swiss Cup home game.
Zürich find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 20 goals from 15 away fixtures. The Zürich manager L. Magnin has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.
