Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of effective, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective bosses Mitchell van der Gaag or Ludovic Magnin deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Recent form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.

Goal Statistics

FC Basel's defensive record is very strong, L. Magnin's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Super League games. An average PG rating of 1.4 for FC Zurich makes sense in this context.

FC Basel's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because FC Zurich have conceded in each of their last 5 Super League matches. A PG of 1.7 for L. Magnin's side suggests that run should continue.
