The Swiss Super League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Lausanne-Sport play host to FC Basel at the Stade de la Tuilière on Sunday.

The Bebbi head into the game unbeaten in 13 consecutive games against the hosts and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Lausanne-Sport were condemned to a second straight defeat last Sunday as they were beaten 3-0 by FC Luzern.

This followed a 3-1 loss away to Grasshopper Zurich on April 24 which saw their three-game unbeaten run come to an end.

Lausanne-Sport now face serious risk of relegation as they sit rock-bottom in the league table, 10 points off Luzern in the relegation playoffs spot with four games to go.

FC Basel, meanwhile, were on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat against Dynamo Kyiv when the sides met in a friendly fixture on Wednesday.

They have now returned to the Super League, where their eight-game unbeaten run came to an end courtesy of a 2-0 loss to newly-crowned champions FC Zurich last Sunday.

With 56 points from 32 games, Basel are currently second in the league standings, three points above third-placed Young Boys.
