Week 5 features a match on Sunday Aug 14th, where Basel will host Lugano in a Super League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Basel sits at 8th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Young Boys. Basel had 12 on net, and Young Boys had 12, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. Basel looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while lugano is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Luzern. Pius Dorn scored the first goal for Luzern in the 32nd minute, but Reto Ziegler got the equalizer for Lugano in the 75th minute. Lugano looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Basel won the head to head battle with 3 wins and 1 draw.
Žan Celar has been the most effective weapon for Lugano lately. The Slovenian attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Pajtim Kasami and Darian Males are the top scorers for Basel in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
