St. Jakob-Park will host the Swiss Super League game between Basel and Servette in week 15. Heading into this game, the two teams have the same points, 25 in their first 14 matches. Which side takes the advantage of this fixture?

Basel

Basel were brilliant against Dornach in a friendly encounter during the break, pulling off a 0-6 win. In that encounter, this team scored three goals in each half, with Bradley Fink, Benjamin Kololli, and Eliah Jordan all netting for this side. However, Basel's last league encounter was against Yverdon, and they pulled off a 1-4 win on the road. Heading into this game, the home side has six wins in their last seven games, and the lone defeat is coming against Young Boys in week 12. This season, Basel scored the most goals, 35, while being the joint side with the fewest goals conceded, 15. 

Servette

Servette were held to a 1-1 draw in their last league game before the break and will hope for a positive outcome here. In the encounter against Zurich, this team needed to level the score before the break, thanks to Timothe Cognat's strike that cancelled Bledian Krasniqi’s strike. However, the visiting team entered this fixture with no wins in their last three matches, drawing two and losing one. In the league, Servette have 23 goals scored while conceding 21, leaving them seated fourth in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

I am tempted to back Basel to win this game despite the odds and the fact that Servette are tough to beat. While Basel are at home, the fact that they have turned things around this season after consecutive struggles in the previous years has made me have a different belief in them. On the other hand, Servette started the season strong with good results, but their recent encounters have shown struggles, hence the lack of trust. Bet on Basel in this crucial game that can take them to the top of the standings while both teams do not fail to score.
