FC Zurich host Basel at Letzigrund Stadion, Zürich on Saturday, Aug 22 at 8:30 PM in the Super League.
FC Zurich come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Basel, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. FC Zurich head into this on the back of a defeat, while Basel arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, FC Zurich face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Basel have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in FC Zurich won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Zurich a slight edge, but Basel are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
