Basel will host Stade-Lausanne at St. Jakob-Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 Super League campaign. The home side have endured a poor season and will finish in the bottom half of the pile for the first time in the 21st century.
They played out a goalless draw against Lausanne-Sport in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Stade-Lausanne have struggled for results in their debut season in the Swiss top flight and look set to return to the second tier as they sit rock-bottom in the table with just 26 points from 25 games.
They secured a lifeline last time out with a 3-1 victory over Yverdon-Sport. Rayan Kadima headed home the opener before Liridon Mulaj netted a brace to hand SLO a much-needed three points in their push for the relegation playoffs.

Basel vs Stade-Lausanne Prediction
Basel are on a run of three consecutive draws and won just two of their last 11 games across all competitions. They are, however, unbeaten in their last four matches at St. Jakob-Park and will be hopeful of a positive result in their final home game of the campaign.
Stade-Lausanne's latest result ended a four-game losing streak and they will aim to kick on from that on Tuesday. They have, however, lost five of their last seven away matches and could see defeat here as well.
Prediction: Basel 3-1 Stade-Lausanne
