Lausanne vs Basel Prediction
Basel have had a nightmarish season and are in danger of being relegated. The RotBlau made it to the Conference League semifinal last season and started the current campaign in the continent.
However, things have unraveled since then. Their nine-game winless run in the league has left them in danger of missing out on continental qualification for the first time since 2000.
Lausanne, meanwhile, have not fared much better but have a chance of going three games unbeaten in the league for the first time this season. Expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring draw.
