Basel visit the Stade Municipal on Sunday (September 24) to face Yverdon in the Swiss Super League, aiming to return to winning ways after four games.
The RotBlau began their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to St. Gallen but bounced back with a 5-2 demolition of Winterthur. However, Timo Schultz's side have lost twice and drawn once since then. Consecutive defeats to Grasshopper and Lausanne-Sport was followed by a 2-2 stalemate against leaders Zurich.
With four points from five games, Basel are down in ninth place in the standings, two places adrift of Yverdon, who have accrued four points more.
