Luzern vs Basel Prediction & Betting tips
The Swiss nationals can look forward to a full load of football in the coming days and weeks. There are still 13 game days left in the Super League, which will all take place in English weeks.
The coming weeks will be particularly interesting due to the great tension in the entire league. A three-way battle for the championship is indicated at the top of the table. FC Basel are currently five points behind and are therefore under great pressure. At the restart, there is a duel between Lucerne and FC Basel in the swisspoarena.
The guests from Basel were already in action in the Swiss Cup last weekend and therefore have a little competition practice compared to the competition in the Super League. This should certainly not be a disadvantage for Marcel Koller’s team.
Lucerne could only test and was not convincing against second division teams. The fans are not particularly hopeful given these results. Even the best bookmakers on the market see the third from Basel as a clear favorite. In the betting base odds comparison between Lucerne and FC Basel betting odds of a maximum of 1.91 can be found on the guests. The game starts on Sunday at 15:00 p.m.
Luzern:
The current season represents a roller coaster ride for the fans of FC Luzern. After a catastrophic start to the season, the team caught up and struggled back towards the Europa League starting places to face a series of six defeats in a row (between matchday 12 and 17 ) to lose the connection again.
Although the 2019 calendar year ended with a home win against FC Basel, those responsible wanted to make a change in the winter and presented Fabio Celestini as the new head coach. Celestini is considered a coach who attaches great importance to the playful aspect.
The Lucerne players were enthusiastic about its philosophy and praised the new instructor in the highest tones even in winter preparation. Lucerne actually presented itself as a new team and played great. In the first five games in calendar year 2020, 13 out of 15 possible points were collected and Lucerne moved back into the secured midfield of the Super League.
After more than three months of competition break, it is normal that not everything works as desired. However, this should not be an excuse for the two test games that Lucerne played in the last few days. After a 2-2 draw against the second division club Schaffhausen (penultimate in league two), a violent 0: 5 swatter against aspirant Lausanne followed.
Lucerne delivered two terrifying performances and is miles away from the February form. In view of these figures, a forecast on the home side is not advisable between Lucerne and FC Basel on Sunday.
FC Basel:
FC Basel returned to the pitch last weekend and played a competitive game. The Koller protégés had to be on the pitch for 120 minutes to stay in the cup quarter-finals against the second division side Lausanne-Sport.
The “Bebbies” had to have the extension chalked up themselves, because within a few moments a 2-0 lead was given up. In the end, however, progress was made and the chance to defend the title is still intact.
Marcel Koller’s original working paper actually ends on June 30th. Due to the new situation, at least an extension was agreed until the end of the current season. This agreement will only be extended if FC Basel wins the title.
Koller, who is considered a meticulous worker, has never had a really good standing in Basel and has repeatedly faced criticism and doubt. The days when Basel was the non-plus-ultra in Swiss football are long gone.
The long forced break did not necessarily come at an unfavorable time for the 20-time Swiss champion. Basel is convincing on the international stage (the EL quarter-finals are within your grasp), but only one of the youngest six games was won in the Super League.
Due to the misery, Basel had to let the management duo go a bit. 13 pending games give enough time to catch up. However, many more slips are no longer allowed. The cup game last Sunday is undoubtedly an advantage for the Koller protégés. Between Lucerne and Basel, a tip in the direction of the guests is definitely justified.
