Basel vs Grasshopper Predictions

This is an unusual situation for Basel to be in at this stage of the table with pretty much nothing to play for whatsoever. They sit 2nd in the table and are a massive 23 points adrift of the league leaders Young Boys whilst they are also a huge 14 points clear of 3rd placed Thun. This has shown in their performances of late, winning just 2 of their last 5 league games with 3 draws.

Grasshopper on the other hand are cut adrift at the bottom of the table and sit 5 points from any glimmer of hope. Their tally of 21 points from 28 games tells the tale of their season and they come into this game winless in their last 13 consecutive league games, although they have picked up marginally, with their last 3 outings all resulting in draws.

Basel have been far from their brilliant best on home soil this season, winning just 7 of their 14 home outings, drawing 5 and losing 2. They score 1.86 goals per game and concede 1.36 which is far too high for a side who should be challenging for the title.

Grasshopper on the other hand have been diabolical away from home this season, they have won just once in 13 league outings on the road, drawing 4 and losing 8. They score less than a goal a game averaging 0.85 per match and conceding 1.85 goals per game on average. It’s no surprise to see them sit cut adrift at the bottom of the table.

Basel and Grasshopper games are on the lower side of the scoring charts in Switzerland, with Basel seeing on average 3.25 goals per game and Grasshopper 2.79 goals per game this season.

Basel are the heavy odds on favourites here and rightly so, the away side are tragic and will be relegated without much of a whimper unless they can fashion a miraculous escape. Basel have won each of the last 5 head to head meetings between the sides and scored 14 goals in the process and we see that happening again here. They have won 4 of the last 5 meetings by 2 or more goals and we see that trend continuing. On the correct score front Grasshopper haven’t bagged in their last 2 away games and we don’t see them scoring here either, on that basis we are going for a 3-0 Basel win.
