Basel
- FC Basel (2nd) are 2 points better off than Lausanne-Sports (4th) after 1 match in the Super League 2026-2027 season.
- FC Basel have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches in all competitions.
Lausanne
Lausanne-Sports opened their 2026/2027 Super League account with a 1-1 draw at home to Grasshopper, backing up a 3-0 friendly win over Yverdon that came after their first home defeat of the season to Neuchatel Xamax, 1-2.
Recent meeting
Basel beat Lausanne-Sports 2-1 away from home in the last meeting between the two sides in the Super League four months ago.
Attacking threats
- Zan Celar looks like being Basel's early danger man in the Super League this season with 1 goal in 1 game, but Ibrahim Bah Mendes has the same stats for Lausanne and will be the main man that they look to for goals.
- Omar Janneh has already provided 1 assist in 1 game for Lausanne so he is their most likely candidate to provide the final ball on a regular basis.
- Luka Elsner's Lausanne are pressing high, counter-pressing hard and looking to hit on the break as quickly as possible, so there should be a good matchup between Basel's control and structure and the tempo that Lausanne are looking to play.
Odds & tips
- The oddsmakers make Basel the favorites at 2.0, followed by Lausanne-Sports at 3.25 with the draw at 3.8.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 will be a tough one to get over the line because Basel can be a little predictable, but both teams to score at 1.42 is a better price because of the difference in quality between the teams.
Short verdict
- FC Basel and Lausanne-Sports meet at St. Jakob Park, Switzerland, on Saturday afternoon in a game that may be a lot closer than the odds suggest.
- Basel are the more likely winners of Saturday's game given they have the home advantage and the edge in the head-to-head record, but Lausanne should be able to make it close.
