Grasshopper vs Basel Prediction
Grasshopper have won just one of the five league games they have played this year and have lost their last two games on the bounce. Their games tend to be tight, cagey affairs with goals coming at a premium.
Basel, for their part, have had a positive start to the year, losing just one of five games played in 2024. They have three wins in this period, including a morale-boosting 1-0 home win over Young Boys.
Just three points separate the two sides in the table and a close game could be on the cards. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
