Head to Head

Basel have a 50-32 advantage against Grasshoppers with 28 draws in 110 matches.

The most recent head to head encounter was won by Grasshoppers 1-0 in February.

Basel Form

Basel are entering this final round of the Swiss Super League as the 5th-placed team which collected 44 points from 35 matches.

They have left quite an impression in the UEFA Conference League, reaching the semi-finals where they lost to Fiorentina 4-3 on aggregate.

Rot Blaus drew against Servette 3-3 during the mid-week Super League action, with Zeki Amdouni scoring a late equalizer.

Basel Team News

Arnau Comas, Emmanuel Essiam, and Adriano Onyegbule are going to miss this match due to injuries.

Taulant Xhaka is serving a seven-game suspension.

Grasshoppers Form

Grasshoppers are sitting in 6th place with the same number of points as Basel (44) but they are behind on goal difference.

The squad from Zurich has been in poor shape lately, having won just one of their last five league contests against Luzern 2-0. That includes three losses to Lugano, Servette, and Zurich, and a recent 2-2 draw versus St Gallen.

Japanese midfielder Hayao Kawabe had the biggest impact on the roster this season, scoring nine goals and registering six assists.

Defender Adamo Nagalo is suspended.

Verdict

Basel v Grasshoppers

Grasshoppers have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in four of their last five Super League matches. They will surely try to take advantage of Basel’s leaky defense, so I am backing goals.
