FC Basel and Yverdon-Sport draw the curtain on their 2023-24 Swiss Super League campaign when they square off at St. Jakob-Park on Tuesday. Alessandro Mangiarratti’s men will head into the season finale on a run of 10 consecutive away defeats and will be looking to pick up their first victory on the road since the turn of the year.
Basel continue their strong late-season form as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Grasshopper Zurich on Saturday.
Fabio Celestini’s side have now gone seven consecutive games without defeat, claiming four wins and three draws since April’s 2-0 loss at the hands of Lugano.
With 48 points from 37 matches, Basel are currently second in the Jupiler League relegation round table, three points and one place above Tuesday’s visitors.
Yverdon-Sport, on the other hand, returned to winning ways on Saturday when they edged out Luzern 3-1 at the Stade Municipal.

While Yverdon-Sport will look to pick up where they left off last Saturday, they have lost their 10 away matches in all competitions this year and currently hold the division’s worst away record, having picked up just six points from 18 matches.
