Basel vs Lausanne Prediction: Basel to return to the winning ways

St. Jakob-Park will host the Swiss Super League encounter between Basel and Lausanne. Last time these two teams met, both teams settled for a 1-1 draw at this venue. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

Basel

Basel's last league encounter was against Servette and they lost. In a game that ended 2-1, Basel saw Anton Kade's strike ruled out for offside before the break, which could have given them the lead. In the meantime, this team conceded twice in the early minutes of the second half, and despite Philip Otele netting for them in the 73rd minute, it was not enough to see them avoid defeat. However, this team has lost only one of their last seven matches, winning five and drawing one. In their last home matches, Basel have won four consecutive games. This season, Basel have 40 points, which puts them at the top of the standings. 

Lausanne

Lausanne's last league game was against Yverdon and they won. In a 4-1 contest, Alvyn Sanches scored a brace, while Alban Ajdini also found the back of the net. However, prior encounters to that win saw this team go winless in four matches. In that run, they lost to Young Boys and St. Gallen, while they drew Grasshoppers and Luzern. Away from home, Lausanne have lost only once in their last five matches. This season, Lausanne have 35 points from 23 matches. In those matches, this team scored 40 goals while conceding 30 as they sit 5th in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Lausanne have been exciting in this fixture, and they are still in good contention of winning the league. On the other hand, Basel at home are just another team at home games, and I expect them to take their chances in this game without a doubt. While I believe the two teams defences will struggle, I will back this game to end with goals.
