Basel and Grasshopper meet often enough that they should know each other well, and in the last six meetings Basel won four. But this time both arrive in a very different state from back then. Basel just thrashed an opponent at home in the cup 3-0, while Grasshopper also scored eight goals in the cup. But back in the league, both have problems to fix. Basel score steadily but their defence leaks badly, especially late in games where they concede most among all periods. Grasshopper themselves have conceded more than they have produced this season, and their away defence is not tight at all. This game therefore looks more likely to be an open exchange than a cagey, sit-back affair. If Basel take the lead first, the game should open up even more, because both teams have defensive weaknesses that struggle against sustained attacking moves. But if Grasshopper settle and don't let the hosts pull away, the game will become a tight contest ending with a small margin, which is the path this game has a higher chance of taking than many think.
