Basel and Luzern will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 29 fixture on Sunday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 away win over OGC Nice in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinal tie. The tie was firmly balanced following a 2-2 draw in the first leg and the French side were seemingly on their way to the last four following Gaetan Laborde's early strike.
However, Jean-Kevin Augustin scored a dramatic 86th-minute equalizer to force extra time, while Kasim Adams' goal in extra time helped his side book a semifinal date with Fiorentina.

Basel vs Luzern Prediction
Basel showed great determination to progress at Nice's expense on the continent but they have not been able to replicate their European glory on the domestic scene.
Luzern, by contrast, have been one of the surprise packages of the season and are firmly in the hunt for a top-two finish.
Basel have shown an affinity for draws in recent weeks, having drawn each of their last four matches in regular time. Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
