Basel will welcome Yverdon to St. Jakob-Park for a Swiss Super League matchday 13 fixture on Sunday (November 5th).

Yverdon, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Winterthur. Sayfallah Ltaief and Boris Cespedes scored first-half goals to ensure that both sides canceled each other out.
