Luzern and Basel battle for three points in a Swiss Super League round 27 clash on Sunday at the Swissporarena.
The hosts are coming off a 2-2 draw at Yverdon last weekend. All four goals were scored in the second half, with Marley Ake and Moussa Baradji putting Yverdon 2-0 up by the 63rd minute. Second-half substitute Kevin Spadanuda missed a 76th-minute penalty for Luzern, but Sinan Karweina didn't miss from 12 yards 12 minutes later before Aleksandar Stankovic equalised in the 89th minute.
Basel, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over Sion. They went ahead through Benjamin Kololli's 17th-minute own goal before Xherdan Shaqiri doubled their lead eight minutes later.

Luzern vs Basel Prediction
Luzern are two points off the summit and have a shot at climbing to the top with a win. Their home form could be crucial to their title aspirations, although they have lost nine of the last 10 head-to-head home games. Crucially, that win came in their most recent meeting at home.
Base, meanwhile, lare level at the top with Servette and will relish the opportunity to potentially go clear with a victory. Although either side could nick a win, expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
