Luzern vs Basel Prediction: League battles continue for these teams.

At Swissporarena, Luzern will play Basel in round 27 of the Swiss Super League. The two teams have been impressive this season. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Luzern

Luzern played Yverdon the previous time out in the league and settled for a draw. In a 2-2 contest, Luzern came from two goals behind to take a point, thanks to goals from Sinan Karweina and Aleksandar Stankovic. Heading into this contest, Luzern have won two and lost two of their last five matches. In that run, Luzern scored eight goals and conceded nine times. In their last home matches, Luzern have won their last five matches, coming against Schaffhausen, Zurich, St. Gallen, Winterthur and Sion. With 42 points from 26 matches, Basel sit third in the standings, scoring 46 goals and conceding 40.

Basel

Basel played Sion in their last league game and secured a win. In a 2-0 contest, this team took the lead after an own goal by Kololli in the 17th minute, and a Xherdan Shaqiri strike in the 25th minute was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, Basel head into this game with an unbeaten run of four matches, defeating Etoile-Carouge while drawing St. Gallen and Lausanne. Ahead of this game, Basel have lost only one of their last road matches, coming against Servette in a 2-1 contest. With 45 points from 26 matches, Basel sit at the top of the standings, scoring 55 goals and conceding 28.

Expert Betting Tips

With the title chase on the line for these two teams, I do not expect them to go into this game hoping for a draw. With Basel well favoured, Luzern at home should be a tough opponent to beat, and I believe they will show character. Expect a very competitive game with a lot of offensive play.
