Kevin Behrens remains their main attacking threat, having already netted 12 times this season. He’s ably supported in the buildup by Daniel Dos Santos, who has provided 7 assists so far.

Basel 1893 Team Overview
The visitors last played an official match on in the Super League, facing Basel away from home. St. Gallen came out on top with a 3-1 victory.
Here’s a breakdown of the key stats from that Basel vs St. Gallen clash:
- Possession: 61% vs 39%;
- Corners: 10 vs 8;
- Fouls committed: 12 vs 23;
- Yellow cards: 4 vs 5;
- Shots on target: 2 vs 6.
Basel’s end to the season has been nothing short of disappointing, with the team suffering four defeats in their last five matches in the championship group. The one bright spot for the visitors remains the legendary Xherdan Shaqiri, who has almost single-handedly kept Basel afloat-he’s already racked up 11 goals and 10 assists. Still, even Shaqiri’s influence can’t fully cover up Basel’s persistent defensive issues. Over their last ten games, Basel have conceded an average of 1.9 goals per match, with defensive lapses becoming all too common. The visitors’ mentality is also under question, as the club have little left to play for in terms of league motivation. Nevertheless, Basel continue to create chances up front and rarely leave the pitch without finding the net.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
The final round of the championship group sets the stage for open, attacking football. Lugano are highly motivated to pull away from Sion and will surely push forward on home turf. They have been consistently finding the net at home, and this season’s head-to-head clashes have already shown they know how to break down Basel’s defense. Despite a disappointing spring in terms of results, Basel haven’t forgotten how to attack-they continue to score regularly. However, their back line is currently in disarray and unlikely to withstand Lugano’s pressure. With one side desperate for victory and the other playing with no pressure and plenty of freedom, a high-scoring affair seems inevitable. Our prediction: over 2.5 goals.
