FC Basel vs Lugano Prediction: Basel to get first league win

FC Basel will host FC Lugano at St. Jakob-Park Stadium to try to end a winless streak of three games in the first Swiss Super League season of 2022–23. The visitors have lost three of their first four games and never won a game against Basel in the four times they have played against them. They will be looking for a rare win in this game. Both teams must be at their best if they want to win.

FC Basel - favorite to win

Basel has not won any of its three Super League games this season, which is disappointing. After losing to Brondby of Denmark in the Europa Conference League, they tied their last game 0-0 against Young Boys. At the start of the season, Basel was one of the teams you might have thought would win every game and the Super League. But it's not true. Basel has struggled in every game; since the beginning of the season, they've only been able to beat Crusaders at home. Basel will hope to beat Lugano easily if they are at their best. Basel doesn't have any potentially injured players, so Frei will have to choose the best players to play against Lugano.

Lugano - no way for Lugano’s Mattia Croci-Torti to lose again

This season, Lugano has already played four games and lost three. When they play Basel, it looks like their bad luck will continue. Even if the odds are against them, Lugano shouldn't make it easy for Basel to win at Jacob's park. This time, against a strong Basel team, Lugano will have to decide their fate. Croci-Torti knows he has a lot of work to do, especially since his team hasn't done well since the start of this season. He will have to put in a lot of work to improve his team's defense, which is very weak and lets in many goals. Also, the attackers must devise more creative ways to make the most of their chances. We think Lugano will make the game hard for Basel and make sure they lose less.
