Luzern bottled their lead against Young Boys twice last weekend, and they later ended that game with a 2-goal margin loss. In the meantime, that defeat ended their unbeaten run of five games, a run where they won two and drew three. In their wins, Luzern defeated Sion and Yverdon in games that ended 2-1 and 1-0, respectively. However, their matches against Servette, St. Gallen, and Lausanne all ended in draws. In their last home matches, Luzern remain unbeaten in as many as four, pulling off two wins and two draws. This season, Luzern have now accumulated 43 points, good enough to see them position 7th in the league standings.
Basel - DDLWW
Basel defeated league-chasing Servette last weekend, pulling off a 2-1 home win. In that game, two late first-half goals from Anton Kade and Thierno Barry were what Basel needed to get all three points, as Servette could only pull one goal back in the second half of the game. However, Basel have now won two consecutive matches, their first being a win over Lausanne Ouchy in what ended 0-2. However, it is worth noting that Basel went six games without a win in prior games to those consecutive wins. In the league this season, Basel have now accumulated 39 points from 32 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings.
Expert Betting Tips
Basel and Luzern have not been at the top level this season, and they might have to prioritize avoiding defeat in this game. While their previous encounters have ended with two wins for each side in their last five, I think both sides have a good chance of winning this game. This will be a close encounter, and with two teams conceding in recent matches in the league, I expect this one to end 1-1 at full-time.
