Prediction published on 19/07/2024, 10:30  by Sridhar Bhamidi in Football Predictions

Having missed the top-six positions in the Swiss League last year, Lausanne-Sport and Basel will look to start this year’s campaign on a positive note. The sides will meet in a match to be played on Sunday at the Stade de la Tuilière in Lausanne with the prediction of the home team winning points.

Lausanne ended last season in the tenth spot, although with a gap of seven points over the relegation zone, they were never in trouble. As they look to start the season well and have a positive impact on this campaign, the hosts will look to extend their momentum from recent friendlies. A 2-2 draw with Nice and a 3-0 win over Xamax have given them some confidence in starting well here.

To go with that, the hosts have also managed to keep Basel at bay in the four matches last season, winning three in the regular season and drawing once in the relegation group. Basel finished last season in eighth place, although they would also be targeting a top-six push this year. It was their indifferent away form that gave them away, as Basel have won only two of their last six away league games, drawing and winning two each.

Interestingly, the visitors have had mixed results in the friendlies, winning and drawing two each. With goals conceded in three of those, it is looking likely that they may struggle to keep the Lausanne attack under check here.
