Grasshoppers vs Basel Prediction: Expect another high goal scoring contest

The Letzigrund Stadion in Zurich will play host to the Swiss Super League match between Grasshoppers and Basel. Coming into this clash, the odds of winning are relatively even, but Basel are a slight favorite to come out on top. What do you believe the outcome of this meeting will be?

As a consequence of their Super League match against FC Lausanne-Sport, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate, the Grasshoppers will take part in this encounter. Grasshopper had 44% possession of the ball during that game and 16 shots on goal, with six of them finding the target. Giotto Morandi was the only player for Grasshopper who managed to score (in the 76th minute). On the other side of the field, Lausanne-Sport had 21 shots on goal, but only six of them were successful. Rareş Ilie scored a goal for FC Lausanne-Sport in the 43rd minute. Grasshopper have not been able to stop scoring goals, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored every time they have taken the field in their most recent six games. During that time span, they have put in a claim for a total of 8 and have given up a total of 11 points. Grasshoppers had not been victorious in either of their last two league matches played at home before this meeting.

Basel will be coming into the match having just come off a victory in the Conference League Qualifiers over Tobol in their most recent matchup. Basel won 1-2. Anton Kade (in the 26th minute) and Jean-Kévin Augustin (in the 32nd minute) were the ones to score for Basel. Tobol's goal was scored by Serges Deblé (in the 43rd minute).Basel have scored 15 goals in their last six matches despite not having any difficulty breaking through the defenses of their opponents. This does not obscure the fact that Basel have had their own problems at the defensive end, as they have also conceded in six of those matches. On the other hand, such a pattern might not be repeated in this matchup at all. The form chart for the previous two league meetings shows that Basel have not been victorious over Grasshopper when playing the game away from their home stadium. This game marks the beginning of that streak. In addition, the away club has failed to win any of their last three league games played outside of their home stadium.

Grasshoppers possible starting lineup:

Hammel; Abels, Tobers, Seko, Kempter; Abrashi, Ndenge, Morandi; Carvalho, Dadashov, Corbeanu

Basel possible starting lineup:

Salvi; Lang, Comas, van Breemen, Calafiori; Frei, Schmid, Ndoye, Burger, Kade; Augustin

Despite the fact that the Grasshoppers have not been victorious in a single game this season, both of these teams are, on average, competing at the same level. We may also look forward to a match in which both teams score, with Basel coming out on top because of their better performance in recent games.
