Basel host Servette at the St. Jakob-Park on Saturday in the Swiss Super League, looking to pick up only their second win of the campaign.
It's been a torrid start to the 2023-24 season for the RotBlau, who are languishing at the bottom of the league table with just five points and one win from their opening nine games.
That victory came on matchday two as Basel thrashed Winterthur 5-2 at home after starting the new season on a losing note. However, it now seems like a false dawn with Timo Schultz's side unable to build on that win.
Trending
Their last two top-flight matches have ended in a pair of comprehensive 3-0 defeats, first to Stade Lausanne-Ouchy and then to defending champions, Young Boys.
On the other hand, Servette are up in seventh position but have not exactly covered themselves in glory either. In 10 games, the side have won and lost thrice each, while drawing four times.
However, the Maroons are showing signs of returning to form, after winning their last two games. A 2-1 home win over Lausanne was followed by a 1-0 victory over Lugano. Having also drawn 2-2 with Winterthur before this, Servette are unbeaten in their last three league matches.
