Zurich vs Basel Prediction: A tough week 27 Super League match

In the 27th round of the Swiss Super League, Basel will compete against Zurich away from home. Last weekend, the home club was only able to salvage a draw with St. Gallen, while the visiting squad from Basel was defeated by Young Boys.

Zurich - looking to turn draw to win

Since their previous Super League match against St. Gallen ended in a draw, Zurich will compete in this matchup hoping for a win. Throughout that encounter, Zurich had 45% possession of the ball and 10 shots on goal, with 4 of them finding the back of the net. Aiyegun Tosin in the 26th minute and Jonathan Okita in the 56th minute scored the goals for Zurich. On the other end of the field, St. Gallen had 10 shots on goal, but only two of them were successful. St. Gallen got goals from Jérémy Guillemenot in the 44th minute and Emmanuel Latte Lath in the 51st minute. The evidence suggests that Zurich have allowed goals to be scored against them in six of their past six matches, totaling nine conceded goals during that span of time. According to their historical results, Zurich has not been able to secure a victory against Basel in either of their previous two matches played in the league. In addition to this, they have not suffered a defeat in any of their previous six home league encounters.

Basel - visiting team will not lose

The Basel team and their fans will be hoping for a better outcome in this match after suffering a defeat in their previous Swiss Cup match against Young Boys. Dan Ndoye was the only one of Basel 1893's players to score in the 70th minute with an earlier Aurèle Amenda own goal. Young Boys scored goals thanks to contributions from Cedric Itten (3', 63'), Fabian Rieder (15'), and Meschak Elia in the 68th minute. When looking at their recent form, Basel have allowed their opponents to score in 5 of their previous 6 games, with a total of 12 goals being scored by their rivals.

Head-2-Head Statistics

Throughout the course of the previous seasons, Zurich and Basel have competed against one another 69 times, with Basel coming out on top in 40 games to 13 for Zurich. There were 16 games that were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Zurich scored 84 goals, while Basel was able to score 148 goals.

Expert Betting Tips

Due to the fact that both teams are anticipated to be very strong defensively, we are looking forward to a contest with a low goal scoring total. As it is anticipated that Basel will perform the majority of the work in this match, it is prudent to consider placing a wager on the away team to either win or draw.
