Lausanne hosts Basel in round 23 of the Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Thursday, February 4th at Stade de la Tuiliere (Lausanne)
Recently, Lausanne has repeatedly moved up to the Super League, but having played there for a couple of years, it was relegated to the Challenge League. Once again, this division was won last summer. Of course, the task for the new season was simply to gain a foothold in the elite. And so far, Lausanne is at a quite comfortable distance from the bottom of the standings - it has 20 points after 16 matches played. Truth be told, it has not gained victories for three matches in a row. 2020 ended in a goalless draw with Lugano. And in January, the Blue and Whites managed to hold only two matches (the meeting with FC Young Boys was postponed) - they lost 0-1 to Sion at home, and on Sunday, being in the minority, Lausanne did not retain the advantage in the meeting with Servette.

Basel was the flagship of Swiss football, and they have consistently become champions of the country eight times in a row since 2010. But in recent years, this status has been confidently retained by Young Boys. Last season, the ex-champion even fell to third place. Now Basel is fighting for getting at least silver back. The chances to rise higher are minimal - the leader from Bern has already broken away by eight points and has a match in reserve. There are also enough applicants for 2nd place. So far, Ciriaco Sforza's charges are taking it (the legendary midfielder took over as head coach in August). But Zurich is very close, and Lugano and St. Gallen cannot be written off either. Moreover, Basel itself is unstable. It won only two matches of the last six (the same amount of draws and defeats). It is noteworthy that the last games were spectacular: 1-4 with Zurich, 3-2 with Sion, and 2-2 with Lugano.
Historically, Basel has a definite advantage. In the last four games in the championship, Lausanne gained only one draw and suffered three defeats. It also won back after 0-2 in the cup quarterfinals but still left the tournament, conceding in the 104th minute. Basel gets a convenient opponent at the moment when it is obliged to win. We recommend betting on the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Basel to win
