Basel - Form analysis: Humiliated but avoided complete disgrace.

The "Blue and Grenadiers" celebrated their 20th championship title in 2017. Since then, they haven't won any other trophies, finishing fifth last season. However, after the main cycle of 33 rounds, Basel had 40 points and joined the company of the worst teams. They performed decently here, despite some new losses. A 0-0 draw with Lausanne was their third consecutive draw - before that, they had two 1-1 draws with Lucerne.

Lausanne Ushi - Form analysis: The club doesn't match this level.

The "Reds" were playing at a semi-amateur level in the fourth division of Switzerland a few years ago. They made their Super League debut only this season after finishing third and succeeding in the Challenge League playoffs. They were expected to be the clear underdogs, but the team completely failed, earning only 23 points in the main championship round and struggling to even secure a draw in the current "group." However, they surprised in the last round, convincingly defeating Yverdon 3-1.
