Lausanne vs Basel Prediction & Betting tips
In Switzerland, the second half of the Super League is already several laps old. FC Basel has so far not implemented the positive resolutions. Both home games lost Basel. This is surprising, because actually the FCB is known for its home strength. Lausanne has made an even worse start to the new year. The Vaud countries lost all three games. In the direct duel in Lausanne, two battered teams meet. The home team is fighting for relegation. Basel also wants to win the title this season. In this encounter for both teams a lot at stake. Especially the reigning champion is under enormous pressure. The betting odds on an away win are extremely deep. Nevertheless, we have picked out an interesting tip for you.
Lausanne :
In 2003, the financial difficulties of Lausanne were too big and the Vaudois had to file for bankruptcy. Thus, Lausanne started the following season in the fourth division. With a march through the footballers of Lake Geneva in the Challenge League established themselves. Thanks to the rise in 2016 Lausanne is back in the Super League.
Currently, the western Swiss are to be found on the eighth place in the table. Since the teams are very close together, the placement can vary greatly. Lausanne has started badly into the second half of the season. The Vaud countries lost all three games so far. In these games, the team received nine goals. This clearly shows the problem: Lausanne is defensively too vulnerable! Especially the last game caused a stir in the fifth largest city in Switzerland. In the away game against the bottom club, the team had no chance. Already after 16 minutes, the Vaudois were in the Valais with 2: 0 back. Also against YB fell already in the first half two goals. Also against Basel the defensive, which is the worst of the league, will be strongly challenged. Therefore, we expect Lausanne to lose the home game.
FC Basel:
FC Basel stands relatively poorly in the table. Three of the four matches in 2018 have lost the Baseler. In the Champions League round of 16 first leg, the Swiss were also shown the international borders. Manchester City outclassed the Basler downright. Already after 23 minutes, the away team celebrated the third goal. So it is clear that Basel will leave the premier class, although on March 7, the return match in Manchester takes place. For the Bebbis are important games in these weeks. In addition to the Champions League, the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup are on the program. In this they face the Bernese Young Boys. The first leg will take place next Wednesday in the Stade de Suisse, with the Baselers having to adjust to home-strong Bernese.
Also in the championship, Basel duels against the Bern for the title. Due to the bad start to the second half of the reigning champions, the lead of the captain grew to eight points. To make sure it does not get any bigger, you need three points. Basel was able to win in the last game in Lausanne. In December, the footballers of the Rhine knee met four times in the goal of Vaud and thus secured the three points. After the last home defeat against St. Gallen, the stars of Basel are forced to react. The new commitments Fabian Frei and Valentin Stocker from the Bundesliga are particularly in the duty. Against Lausanne we expect a clear victory of the Basler. The Bebbis will not leave the title to Berner without a fight.
