Basel, Recent FormThe Basel players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Lausanne-Sport recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Lausanne-Sport, who had 16 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Whilst manager Timo Schultz will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at St. Jakob-Park, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Fabian Frei will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Basel.
FC Zurich, Recent FormFC Zurich had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against St. Gallen. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against St. Gallen's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.
