Basel
- FC Basel has been an experimental laboratory since Stephan Lichtsteiner took over as the head coach.
- Basel have struggled for consistency as a result of this period of experimentation, which is reflected in their mediocre recent form.
- Basel’s last three results are D, L, L (3-3 at home to BSC Young Boys, 3-1 away defeat to Thun, 0-2 at home to Sion Sitten).
- 3-3 at home to BSC Young Boys
- 3-1 away defeat to Thun
- 0-2 at home to Sion Sitten
Thun
- While FC Basel have been in a transition period, FC Thun have enjoyed a meteoric rise in the Swiss league.
- This system suits Thun’s talented midfielders and has seen them top the league and have won the last two head-to-head matches, including the reverse fixture just 10 days ago.
Head-to-Head
Basel have scored an average of 1.5 goals per home game against Thun in their last four games (7/4) while the away side has scored an average of 1.0 in the same four fixtures (4/1).
Betting Insights
- The odds reflect this with Thun as 2.42 favorites and Basel not too far behind at 2.58.
- Both teams to score is priced at 1.32, which is a little short for our tastes, but we like the likelihood of goals at both ends here.
Prediction
The recent head-to-head result and Thun’s incredible Super League campaign so far should be enough to tip this one in the favour of the visitors, who will be confident of adding another result to the one they got against Basel just 10 days ago.
