Basel can build on opening win

Basel started their Swiss Super League campaign with a 1-0 at Servette, and they’re aiming to claim all three points in their home opener.

A late penalty secured Basel’s win last week, but they conceded 1.02 Expected Goals from open play in that victory. The hosts conceded 58 times across their 38 league games last term, and seven of the last eight meetings between these sides featured both teams scoring.

Lausanne averaged over a goal per game on their travels last term, and they showed attacking intent against Grasshopper in their opener before falling back to protect a 1-0 lead.

After a busy summer of signings, back Basel for a high-scoring win as they look to continue their perfect start.
