Seeking to pick up their first win of the season, Lausanne-Sport take a trip to the St. Jakob-Park to face FC Basel in the Swiss Super League on Sunday.
The Bebbi head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last 15 games against the visitors and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Basel were left red-faced once again as they suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Grasshopper Zurich in last Sunday’s Super League clash.
Prior to that, Timo Schultz’s men were dumped out of the Conference League qualifiers as they lost 4-3 on aggregate to FC Tobol despite claiming a 2-1 second-leg win against the Kazakhstan outfit on August 3.
Trending
The Bebbi have now lost two of their opening three league matches, with a 5-2 victory over Winterthur on July 30 being the exception.
Elsewhere, Lausanne-Sport failed to get their season up and running last Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Yverdon-Sport.
Ludovic Magnin’s side have now failed to win their opening three matches, picking up one point from the first nine available since their return to the top flight.
While Lausanne-Sport will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they have failed to win their last seven away matches across all competitions since the start of April.
