Xherdan Shaqiri continued his fine form since his return to his hometown club, breaking the deadlock in the 28th minute before providing a further three assists. Albian Ajeti scored a brace while Benie Traore and Nicolas Vouilloz scored a goal each in the second half.

Lugano vs Basel Prediction
Lugano are barely holding onto fourth place and the final continental spot with four games to go. They have a one-point advantage over fifth-placed Luzern and are two points ahead of Lausanne in sixth place in the race for UEFA Conference League qualification.
Basel are champions-in-waiting and barring a spectacular implosion, should end their eight-year wait for league glory. Their charge has been led by the returning Xherdan Shaqiri, who has been on fire in the final stage of the campaign. Fabio Cestini's side hold a nine-point advantage at the summit and need just four points from the final four games, while their vastly superior goal difference means that three points could effectively be enough.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
