Grasshoppers
Basel surprised many with a dip in form, losing a match they had firmly in control against St. Gallen.
However, such setbacks can happen it's only the second round of the new season. This time, the task should be a bit more manageable, as they face a less challenging opponent in Grasshoppers.
The visitors come into this season slightly weakened, having sold their best player, Giotto Morandi, to Servette.
What we say
Basel to Win
Basel holds a clear advantage in this match, primarily due to the strength and stability of their current squad. They've managed to retain most of their key players something Grasshoppers haven't done.
Additionally, Grasshoppers have struggled away from home. They ended last season with four consecutive away defeats, managing to score just one goal in that stretch. With only 4 wins from 19 away matches, they are unlikely to pose a serious threat to this Basel side.
