Grasshopper vs Basel Prediction

Basel have not had the best of campaigns and need to step up to secure continental qualification. Alexander Frei's side are three points behind the top four, and a win will see them boost their chances of finishing in the European spots.

Grasshopper, meanwhile, are in a similar condition but are yet to taste victory this year. The record Swiss champions suffered a harrowing defeat to Basel in the Swiss Cup and will get an opportunity to take back their pound of flesh immediately.
