However, Meschack Elia drew the game level two minutes after the restart. Joel Monteiro scored a brace within four minutes to complete the comeback.

Luzern vs Basel Prediction

Luzern twice let their lead slip against champions-in-waiting Young Boys last week, eventually losing by a two-goal margin. That defeat ended their four-game unbeaten run and they will be hoping to bounce back here.

Basel made Young Boys' run to the title easier with their victory over title-chasing Servette last week. The win made it consecutive victories for Fabio Celestini's side for the first time since the end of January. They have not won three games on the bounce all season long, highlighting how poorly Basel have done this term.

We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
