St. Jakob-Park will be the venue for round 28 of the Swiss Super League encounter between Basel and Young Boys. Ahead of this game, the two teams have been decent in the last weeks, and they will hope to get things right. Which team wins here? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Basel

Basel lost their last league game and they could only pick a point at the end of full time. In that encounter, Beanie Traore's strike in the 41st minute was not enough to see this team take maximum points as 78th minute Stefan Knezevic scored for their opponent. Ahead of this game, Basel have not lost any of their last five matches, drawing three and winning two. In recent home matches, Basel have an unbeaten run of six matches, winning five of those encounters. Seated in the second spot with 46 points, Basel have scored 56 goals and conceded 29 in 27 matches.

Young Boys

Young Boys played Lausanne this previous weekend and they won. In a 3-0 contest, this team took a one-goal lead before the break, and a Chris Bedia brace in the second half sealed the win. However, this team has won three of their last four matches, with their lone defeat coming against Grasshoppers, as they picked up wins over Zurich and Lugano. Ahead of this game, Young Boys have accumulated 40 points from 27 matches, leaving them 5th in the standings

Expert Betting Tips

Young Boys have been very good and I expect a lot from them. However, Basel are working hard to win the league, and they are in good shape with a good unbeaten run. With the two teams expected to show their attacking quality here, I believe this will be a high-scoring game looking at the number of goals the two teams have scored. However, Basel have been too good, and at home, I believe they have a chance as they hope to close the league gap.
