Basel vs Luzern Prediction 24 May 2025

Luzern have been below par since the postseason, and there is nothing expected from them. While looking at how their performances have been since the beginning of the season, it is clear they were league’s favourites and title contenders. Yet, things have gone south for them and they look like a side that can not secure a win. On the other hand, Basel have given more than enough this season and it is commendable how they stepped up this season after a very poor performance the previous year. At the moment, their level of offensive play could be what will make the difference, as they also have the best defense line in the league this season. Therefore, in a game where both teams will have their chances, I feel playing at home will be a big boost for them.
