Basel vs Lugano Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2025

Basel and Lugano will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League round 13 clash on Sunday (November 9th). The game will be played at St. Jakob-Park.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 victory over FCSB at the same venue in the UEFA Europa League at the same venue on Thursday. Their visitors were reduced to 10 men when Stefan Tarnovanu was sent off in the 12th minute and Xherdan Shaqiri put the hosts ahead from the spot in the 19th minute.

Darius Olaru equalized in the 57th minute, but Shaqiri restored the hosts' lead in the 73rd minute, while Ibrahim Salah made sure of the result with two minutes left in regulation time.

The Rotblau will turn their focus to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them share the spoils in a goalless draw away to Young Boys.

Lugano, meanwhile, saw off Luzern with a 2-0 home win. Hicham Mahou Yanis Cimignani came on at halftime and scored a goal each to inspire the victory.

The win left them in seventh spot in the table, having garnered 16 points from 11 games. Basel are second on 22 points.

Basel vs Lugano Prediction

Basel's title defense has not gone exactly to plan as they currently find themselves six points off table-toppers Thun. They have won their last four home games on the bounce across all competitions.

Lugano started the season off poorly, which saw them win just one of their opening six league games and get knocked out of Europe. However, they have rebounded in recent weeks, winning four of their last five league games.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
