15 matches in and Basel will be very disappointed with how the season has gone so far. They currently sit in 2nd position, which doesn’t sound too bad, but they’re a massive 16 points behind Sunday’s opponents.
A lack of defensive solidity is why Sunday’s hosts have been unable to keep pace with their title rivals. 15 league matches in and Basel are still searching for their first clean sheet.
Basel have been poor this season, but it must be said that Young Boys have impressed. The league leaders have barely put a foot wrong, as they’ve won 13 of their 15 matches, scoring 47 goals and conceding just 16 in the process.
YB their extra quality at both ends of the pitch, the visitors can put Basel in their place for the second time this season.
