Basel vs Luzern
The midweek Swiss Super League advanced match or 34th match day will present a match between Basel which acts as host to host Luzern in St. Jakob-Park. Interestingly both the hosts and their visitors both lost in the last game, Basel fell in the super big match against rivals Young Boys with a score of 3-1 while Luzern also fell away against Lugano 1-0.
The defeat was disappointing for them, for Luzern in the previous match they won a win over FC Thoune 3-1 but unfortunately it cannot continue to be a positive trend. As a result, Luzern had to settle down to rank 6 in the standings, from a total of 32 matches that had been played by Luzern collecting 12 wins, 4 draws and 16 defeats.
Actually, by having 40 chance points Lucerne to rise to position 3 of the standings is wide open because it is 3 points adrift of FC Thoune. Regardless of the circumstances of the visitors, switching to the actual host who fell from Young Boys was a reasonable result because indeed the two teams competed in the top flight and only Basel had the strength to approach Young Boys.
Even before tumbling yesterday Basel recorded a satisfying score, where they won in a row in 4 matches and were unbeaten from the last 19 matches. Basel is the strongest team after the dominance of Young Boys, from the head to head statistics with Luzern even the last 10 Basel meetings picked 7 wins while Luzern only won 1 and the remaining 2 draws. So with a home advantage like this, chances are that Luzern will be defeated.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 2.05
