Grasshoppers failed at the start of a new season, having got only one point in three opening clashes after 2:2 draw against Luzern as well as two defeats to Zurich 0:2 and Young Boys 0:4. As a result, "Grasshoppers" occupy the ninth position in the standings with one point earned and 2-8 goal difference.
Basel won last four head-to-heads against Grasshoppers with 9:2 aggregated score. Taking into consideration the home-field advantage, plus a difference in teams' level alongside with visitors' disastrous competitive form at the start of the season, the hosting side should face no difficulties in gaining another three points in the elite division and follow up its hunt for the season's leader.
Prediction for the match: Basel to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
