FC Basel vs FC Thun
Switzerland, Super League, St. Jakob-Park, 16:30 CEST

A Swiss Super League clash at St. Jakob-Park with FC Basel hosting an in-form FC Thun. Basel arrive under Stephan Lichtsteiner with W2 D1 L2 in their last five matches, using a 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 that is compact in build-up but breaks quickly with bite in the final third. Zan Celar is Basel's top scorer this season with 1 goal in 2 matches. Thun arrive under Gian-Luca Privitelli with mixed form (W1 D1 L3 in last five, losing their last two) but a strong start on the road in Super League 2026/2027, having won one of their three away matches. Privitelli's system relies on high pressing and vertical attacking, with Brighton Labeau in scoring form (3 of Thun's 4 goals across the last 5). Marc Gutbub is Thun's top scorer in the league with 1 goal in 2 matches, and Lucien Dahler contributes creativity with 1 assist. Basel won the reverse fixture 3-1 three months ago and have won 2 of the last 3 H2Hs at St. Jakob-Park.

FC Thun's matches average 5.0 total goals this season, the last 5 H2Hs produced 17 goals (3.4 per match), and Thun's last 5 matches produced 20 goals total (4.0 per game). With Basel's counter-attacking bite and Thun's high-press setup opening the game up, this line should clear with real ease.

✅ BTTS: Yes carries a clean route in. The last 5 H2Hs saw BTTS in 4 of 5 matches (80%), Thun average 3.0 goals scored in away games this season, and Thun scored in 4 of their last 5 matches. Labeau's finishing form and Basel's attacking output through Celar make both attacks producing very much on the cards.

Basel have beaten Thun in 3 of their last 5 meetings (2 of the last 3 at St. Jakob-Park), Thun concede 3.5 goals per match this season giving Basel repeated chances to break through, and the hosts posted a 3-0 win in their recent five-match sample showing scoring threat.
