Yverdon-Sport vs Basel Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2024

Yverdon-Sport will host Basel at the Stade Municipal on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Swiss Super League campaign. The home side will be looking to return to winning ways, having suffered back-to-back losses in their last two outings.

Yverdon-Sport were outplayed and outmatched in their last two matches, suffering a 3-0 home loss to Lausanne in the 11th round followed by a 2-0 loss away to Lugano on Sunday. The hosts endured a poor start to the league campaign, winning none of their opening five games but were able to shoot up the league table with four wins in the next six games and will be looking to come out of their recent slump this weekend.

Basel, on the other hand, go into this match in good spirits after a thumping 5-0 win over Winterthur last weekend. The visitors who have won all but one of their last five league games currently sit in fourth place and will be looking to keep track of league leaders Zurich, who are just three points ahead of them.

Yverdon-Sport vs Basel Prediction

Yverdon-Sport will have to be at their very best to get a result on Saturday or will be in danger of recording a third consecutive loss. Having the third-worst defensive record in the league, however, poses a huge problem considering the visitors have by far the best attacking record.

Basel are slight favorites when they make the trip to Yverdon-les-Bains this weekend. A win could see them climb up to second in the league table, which should be enough incentive for a side looking to bounce back from their worst-ever league finish last season.

Prediction: Yverdon-Sport 1-3 Basel
