Zurich and Basel are set to face off in the fourth round of the Swiss top league, both seeking to build on shaky starts. Basel arrive for this game placed fifth, three points ahead of their hosts. This fixture has lately been dominated by Basel, who are having the better start, and our prediction backs them here.
Zurich are coming off a 2-1 cup win over Tuggen and will hope to register back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Apart from inconsistency, they are also struggling defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their four matches so far. As they have failed to score in just one of those four matches, over 2.5 goals has been a recurring stat that we expect here as well.
Basel will be gunning for a sixth straight win over Zurich. The visitors have had a better start to the campaign comparatively and will be justified in feeling like the favorites.
Coming here, they fell 5-2 to Barcelona in a friendly, and they’ll hope it doesn’t disrupt the momentum they had in two straight wins. Basel had thrashed Courtetelle 6-1 in the cup competition, building on a 4-2 win over champions Thun earlier.
Like Zurich, they are also having defensive concerns, having kept just one clean sheet in four matches. Such could be a precursor for a high-scoring encounter.
