FC Basel will be in action this Saturday at St. Jakob-Park when they take on Grasshoppers in matchday two of the Swiss Super League. FCB are in 10th place after the first game of the season, while the GCZ are seventh. Check out our match prediction below.
The 2024-25 season was a memorable one for FC Basel, as they returned to the summit of the Swiss League standings for the first time since 2016-17, 10 points clear of the runners-up.
FCB made a poor start this term, though, losing their first league game as they were unable to maintain a lead against St Gallen, ending the match with a 2-1 defeat on the road.
This is the hosts’ first home game of the season. They ended the previous campaign with an impressive home record, winning their final five league games, while scoring two or more goals in each of those matches.
Meanwhile, for a second season in a row, Grasshoppers only managed to maintain their top-flight status by surviving the relegation playoffs after finishing second-bottom in the table.
The Grasshoppers enter gameweek two in the red after suffering a 3-2 defeat in their opening game on home soil to Luzern last week.
The visitors' league performance while on the road has been far from impressive. They lost their final three away games last season and won just one in their last nine matches (W1 D3 L5).

Our FC Basel 1893 vs Grasshopper Club Zurich Prediction
Basel brought an end to an almost decade-long wait to win the Swiss league title last term, and after losing their season-opener last week, they will be determined to bounce back in this one.
Following the defeat to Luzern, Grasshoppers have now lost five of their last six league games either side of the summer break, and we feel they will struggle to contain the hosts this weekend. Our FC Basel vs Grasshoppers prediction is FC Basel wins & over 2.5.
