Lausanne – FC Basel betting tip, prediction & odds 21.07.2024

Super League, Sunday, 21.07.2021 at 16:30

The Swiss Super League kicks off the 2024/25 season exactly one week after the Euro 2024 final, with FC Lausanne-Sport and FC Basel facing off at the Stade de la Tuilière on Sunday.

Both clubs were not satisfied with last year’s results (8th and 10th place) and are aiming to be in the champions’ group in the new season. FCB, in particular, is not represented internationally for the first time in 25 years and wants to return to the international stage.

According to the betting odds, we can expect a close game with a slight advantage for the home side. In the end, I opt for the bet “Double chance 1X & both score” in my Lausanne FC Basel betting tip at odds of 2.11 with the provider Sunmaker

If you open the sports betting apps in advance of the Lausanne FC Basel prediction, you’ll quickly realize that the bookmakers can’t really agree on a favorite here.

The hosts will take to the pitch with home advantage and odds of around 2.30 to win. However, even a three-pointer for the visitors will only pay odds of just under 3.00.

But according to the bookmakers, spectators can look forward to goals. Bookmaker Betano has odds of 1.60 for the bet “Both teams to score”.

2023/24 FC Lausanne-Sport were promoted for the second time in the recent past and had initially set their sights on staying in the league.

They missed out on the championship group by eight points. However, the cushion to the danger zone at the end of the season was a very comfortable seven points. However, a better result was missed due to inefficiency and fluctuations in performance.

This year, the club, which is owned by the British chemicals group Ineos, wants to climb into the top six. To this end, Stéphane Henchoz was appointed as the new sports director after three months as a consultant.

Together with coach Ludovic Magnin, who has been in office since May 2022, they now want to make great progress. After the last two promotions, the “Bleu et Blanc” had to go down again in year two at the latest

The Waatlanders currently have to cope with the smallest squad in the Super League. At the end of last season, FC experienced quite a bloodletting.

Nine departures are offset by just four new signings and one loan return. In addition, Simone Pafundi, the most expensive player in the league with a market value of 10 million, is currently at the U19 European Championship.

FC Lausanne-Sport’s defense in particular is likely to look very different compared to the previous season. In five pre-season test matches, the team recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats.

Nine goals were conceded in the process. Last season, FC Lausanne celebrated seven of their eleven wins at home in the Stade de la Tuilière

Between 2002 and 2017, FC Basel won twelve Super League championships. The club had over 100 million francs in its account and was a regular in the Champions League.

However, this was followed by a period of chaos, unrest and constant personnel changes in all key positions. The temporary low point was reached last fall.

The former serial champions had temporarily slipped to last place. After German coaches Timo Schultz and Heiko Vogel were sacked, Fabio Celestini took over.

The ex-professional, who had also managed Lausanne-Sport from 2015 to 2018, initially stabilized the Bebbis’ defence. In the end, Red & Blue finished second in the relegation round

The cushion to the danger zone was extended to 11 points. But of course nobody in Basel could be satisfied with such a result. In terms of size, ambition and fan base, FCB should actually be number 1 in Switzerland.

Coach Celestini had already caused a major break at the end of the season, which is now set to continue. The new sports director Daniel Stucki remained rather modest on the transfer market.

Instead, the team has opted for many young players and a smaller squad. A look at the preparations shows that FCB has shelved the back four for the time being.

In four test matches, Basel remained undefeated with two wins and two draws. But beware: Red & Blue have only won their opening game twice in the last seven years

There are 169 competitive matches between the two clubs in the soccer databases. Basel have a clear lead with 71 wins to 56 defeats (42U).

In Lausanne, however, the Beebbi’s record is negative. There were only 26 wins in 84 guest matches, with 34 defeats and 24 draws. Last season, FCB picked up just one point (3N) in four matches against the “blue and whites”.

Before that, however, the Vaud side had endured a run of 12 games without a win against the red and blue. During this period, Basel won six times and shared the points six times

Conclusion: It’s not easy to make a prediction for the first game of the new season. However, we think the home side will come out on top in this clash and are confident of at least a draw.

Of course, this has to do with the home advantage. In addition, Basel only managed to pick up one point in four matches against Lausanne last season. FCB also always have a particularly difficult time at the start of a season.

However, we expect goals on both sides. My Lausanne FC Basel betting tip is therefore: Double chance 1X & both score!
