Lausanne-Sport will host Basel at the Stade de la Tuiliere on Saturday (December 3) in a friendly.
The hosts enjoyed a solid start to their season but have lost their way of falling late in the race for promotion. Lausanne played out a 2-2 draw against Aarau in their last game before the international break, squandering a two-goal lead. Saturday's game will mark Lausanne's final game of the year.
Basel, meanwhile, have had a hugely underwhelming campaign, finding themselves 14 points behind leaders Young Boys in the Swiss Super League standings as the midpoint of the season approaches. Base lost 1-0 to Grasshopper Zurich in their last league game, falling behind just after the half-hour mark.
The RotBlau were held to a goalless draw by German outfit Sandhausen in a friendly a fortnight ago.

Lausanne-Sport vs Basel Prediction
Lausanne are on a six-game winless streak and have won just two of their last ten games across competitions. They are winless in their last three home games and could struggle here.
Basel, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one of their last four games across competitions. They have, however, won two of their last three games on the road and are the overwhelming favourites to win. Basel should win this one.
