The friendly match where Winterthur host Basel arrives at a moment when the two teams have just finished their games with very different moods. Winterthur just thrashed their opponent 4-1 in a friendly, following a league win that they chased down without slipping up, while Basel just lost 1-3 in the league after having just won 4-2 in the previous match. Winterthur are in a period where results are flowing positively, on a winning run of 4 matches and unbeaten in 5 straight. Their attack scores consistently, while Basel's recent form is still not steady, having lost 3 of their last 5, and although they have scored 17 goals in the league they have also conceded 17, the same number. Their defence is a point to watch. After kick-off, the first thing to keep an eye on is how quickly Basel can set up their attacking game, because if they let Winterthur, who are full of confidence, get the first goal, the game could turn into one where the hosts control the tempo and play to their own plan throughout.
