Zurich will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today's opponents. The home side are currently 6 points behind Basel.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Zürich form and stats
Zürich, who have the most conceded goals (23) at home in Super League, have collected 16 points from their Super League home games so far after 5-1-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Zürich, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The home team returns to Stadion Letzigrund after being equal after 90 minutes with Sion (placed 8th) on their last time out; the Super League game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Zürich lost 2-3 at home to Luzern.
The Zürich goalkeeper Yanick Brecher was crucial in the match against Sion last time out, making six saves.
The Zürich fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 10 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Zürich with 23 goals conceded in these matches.
Basel form and stats
Playing away, Basel, who have the the best goal difference (+21) in Super League, have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the Super League this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Basel as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Sion match. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Basel's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Basel failed to get anything from their last game, a Super League home match vs St. Gallen (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Young Boys's place.
Basel were so close to getting something from the game against St. Gallen, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
Basel has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 17 goals from 10 games. Basel have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Zürich - Basel 3-2 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Zürich won two games, two matches ended with a draw and Basel has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
