Basel vs Stade Lausanne-Ouchy Prediction
Basel have had a characteristicaally inconsistent campaign, with their Jekkyl and Hyde displays becoming something of a recurrent theme in recent years. The RotBlau are one of the traditional big sides in Swiss football, but evidence of their underperformance lies in the fact that they are have won just one game all season.
Lausanne, meanwhile, are debutants in the top flight and are ostensibly supposed to be heavy underdogs. However, their hosts' struggles means they will fancy their chances of leaving with something.
Expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
