Stade-Lausanne and Basel will square off in a Swiss Super League matchday 16 encounter on Saturday.

Basel, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over St. Gallen. Anton Kade and Finn van Breemen scored in either half to help their side claim all three points.
The victory saw the RotBlau climb off the foot of the table into 11th spot, having garnered 11 points from 14 games. Lausanne are at the bottom of the standings with 10 points.

Stade-Lausanne vs Basel Prediction
Stade-Lausanne are competing in the Swiss Super League for the first time in their history but it looks likely to be a brief stay in the top-flight. The Ouchy outfit have lost their last four games in all competitions on the bounce and have managed just two victories in the league all season.
One of those wins came in the reverse fixture against Basel, so the hosts will be optimistic that they can get a second victory here. The visitors are on something of a mini-revival in recent weeks after an atrocious start to the season left them rooted to the bottom of the standings for several weeks.
Fabio Celestini has steadied the ship somewhat since his appointment at St. Jakob-Park and he will be aiming for a fourth win in five games since taking charge. We are backing Basel to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
