Basel, Recent FormIt's fair to say Basel will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Winterthur, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Winterthur, who had 3 shots on goal with 0 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Fabio Celestini will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 14 home games this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
On an individual basis, Thierno Barry will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Basel's last 6 league games.
FC Zurich, Recent FormFC Zurich manager Murat Ural will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, who managed 1 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for FC Zurich, Antonio Marchesano will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Playing at home, Basel have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against FC Zurich. Playing away from home, FC Zurich have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Basel.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, FC Zurich may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 5 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Basel player Albian Ajeti will be feeling confident about recording goals against FC Zurich ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Basel manager Fabio Celestini ahead of this clash, with Yusuf Demir (Stomach trouble) missing out, which gives Celestini a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
FC Zurich manager Murat Ural has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
