Stade Lausanne host Basel at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise on Saturday in the Swiss Super League, looking to win for just the sixth time this season.
Playing in the Swiss top flight for the first time in history, Ricardo Dionísio's side have expectedly struggled to make a mark.
Lausanne have won only five times from 30 games so far, including one in their last match, wherein they beat title hopefuls Servette 2-1 on the road. Vitalie Damascan scored the winner for the visitors in the 84th minute after Jeremy Guillemenot had equalized for the home side just seven minutes earlier.
Trending
On the other hand, Basel's decline has continued this season, and it's been more dramatic than it had been in recent campaigns. With just 33 points in the bag, the RotBlau are down in 10th position on the Swiss Super League table, and without a win in their last five league matches.
During this run, Basel were also knocked out of the Swiss Cup quarter-finals after losing 4-2 to Lugano on penalties as the sides finished level at 2-2 in open play.
