Lausanne-Sport and Basel, who both missed the top-six positions in the Swiss League last year, are looking to start this season on a positive note. The two teams will face off on Sunday at Stade de la Tuilière in Lausanne, with predictions favoring the home team to secure points.
Lausanne-Sport ended last season in tenth place, safely seven points above the relegation zone, avoiding any serious trouble. As they begin the new season, they hope to build on their recent friendly match performances. They drew 2-2 with Nice and won 3-0 against Xamax, boosting their confidence for a strong start.
Furthermore, Lausanne managed to dominate Basel last season, winning three out of four encounters and drawing once during the relegation group stage. Basel finished last season in eighth place and is also targeting a top-six position this year. Their inconsistent away form, with only two wins out of their last six away league games (two draws and two losses), proved to be a setback.
The visitors have had mixed results in their friendly matches, with two wins and two draws, but conceded goals in three of those matches, indicating potential struggles against Lausanne’s attack.
