Basel: Form and Statistics

Basel have been amazing and week in, week out, they show why they should be top of the standings. Last weekend, this team was on the road against Zurich and they displayed class, showing a clear dominant performance. Winning 0-4 in that contest, courtesy of Xherdan Shaqiri’s screamer and Philip Otele’s double. However, Basel now have an amazing run of just two defeats in their last 18 matches, good enough to see them transition from second spot to a six-point gap lead on the table ahead of Servette. Ahead of this game, Basel have scored 67 goals in the league, the most by any side so far, while conceding the fewest, 32.

Basel Lineup

Basel have no player returning from injury. However, Moussa Cissé and Barišić are just a few weeks from returning to the squad, hopefully by the end of April.

🔖 Basel’s Predicted XI (4-2-3-1):

Hitz, Jonas Adjetey, Akahomen, Schmid, Mendes, Metinho, Avdullahu, Otele, Shaqiri, Traore, Ajeti

⛔️Unavailable: Van Breemen, Moussa Cissé, Barišić, Kevin Ruegg (all injured)

👤 Head Coach: Fabio Celestini

Yverdon: Form and Statistics

Yverdon failed to win once again, and against a strong team like Basel, they will need to do an extraordinary job. Last weekend, this team was at home against an inconsistent Grasshoppers and they could not take a point at full time, despite Cristiano Piccini's 33rd goal from the spot. However, it is not surprising how poor Yverdon have been, given they are seated just six points ahead of bottom-placed Winterthur in the standings with 33 points from a possible 96. Heading into this game, Yverdon have won just one of their last five matches, a shocking result against title-contending Servette in mid-March. In the meantime, Yverdon have not lost away from home in three consecutive matches, a record they will feel they can surprisingly extend.

Yverdon Lineup

There is no positive news regarding the injury of Yverdon, as they are expected to still be missing out on Kacuri and Jason Gnakpa.

🔖 Yverdon’s Predicted XI (4-3-3):

Bernardoni, Sauthier, Piccini, Marques, Kongsro, Sylla, Legowski, Baradji, Tasar, Ake, Marchesano

⛔️Unavailable: Jason Gnakpa, Dimitrije Kamenovic, and Dion Kacuri (all injured); Ronaldo Tavares (non-active) 

👤 Head Coach: Paolo Tramezzani.

💰 Basel vs Yverdon Match Prediction 21 April 2025

Yverdon have not been able to prove themselves and with how their performances have been in this fixture, it looks like they have a low chance of winning. While Basel are playing some incredible football, it is worth giving them credit for how far they have stepped up their game after enduring a struggle time in the past two seasons. The two teams have their uniqueness, but Basel are just too strong and I do not see Yverdon handling the pressure here, especially with how crucial Xherdan Shaqiri is expected to be for them.
