Basel welcome Young Boys to St. Jakob-Park for a Swiss Super League matchday nine clash on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat away to Luzern last weekend.
Luca Jaquez's 78th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Young Boys, meanwhile, suffered an embarrassing 5-0 defeat away to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Inigo Martinez scored first-half goals to put the Catalans 3-0 up at the break. Lewandowski completed his brace six minutes into the second half while Mohamed Camara put through his own net with eight minutes left on the clock.
Patrick Yahmen's side will be looking to get back to winning ways, having suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Grasshoppers in their last league game.
The loss left YB in 11th spot in the table with six points to show for their efforts in eight games. Basel are seventh on 10 points.

Basel vs Young Boys Prediction
Basel are winless in their last four competitive games in regulation time. Their sole win in this period came after extra time in the cup against second division side Stade Nyonnais.
Young Boys' title defense has not gone according to plan and two heavy losses on the continent without scoring has left manager Patrick Yahmen feeling the heat. However, the Bern outfit have a good recent record in this fixture, having won five of the last seven head-to-head games.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
