Basel take on the visitors Grasshoppers in the round 34 match of Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Thursday, May 12th at St. Jakob-Park (Basel)
Basel risks taking another step back. "RotBlau" from 2010 to 2017 has consistently become the champions of their country. But then they were able to push the Young Boys, who won 4 titles in a row. Now the “yellow-blacks” have been blown away, but this does not mean that they will be able to take advantage of this. Even though a new mentor, Abascal, has been called in, stability is still not achieved. The Swiss left the Conference League, losing in March to Olympique (Marseille). There are few victories in the championship. It is curious that in April only against one of the underdogs, Lucerne, win was recorded with an abundance of draws in the rest of the match. But then followed by a defeat to Zurich and only a goalless draw with Lausanne - so they can give up 2nd place.

Grasshopper was able to complete the main task for this season. In both past seasons, they have to hang out in the Challenge League, from which we returned only following the results of the 2020/2021 season. It is clear that they wanted, first of all, not to fall back into the 2nd division of Switzerland. It cannot be said that Contini and his wards surprised by their performance. But, most importantly, they gain more than an average point per match, which is enough to avoid falling into the danger zone. In addition, after an unsuccessful stretch at the beginning of spring, in April, it turned out to give out a decent unbeaten streak, and even defeat Servette with Lausanne. And only Sion was able to break this streak by beating the "grasshoppers" 1-0 on their field.
The clubs have already played three head-to-heads in this championship. It is curious that Basel won both away matches, but at the same time at home in December, only in the 90+ minute Basel were able to pull out a 2-2 draw. Experts consider Basel to be the favorite, but it looks like the teams are already waiting for the championship to finish. We recommend betting on small number of scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
