FC Basel 1893 travel to FC Luzern on Sunday, 13 September, for a Super League clash at the Thermoplan Arena, kicking off at 16:30 local time. Basel sit fifth after seven games with 10 points, eight adrift of leaders FC Lugano, and are looking to end a two-match losing run.
An even goal record
Basel have scored 12 and conceded 12 this season, leaving them level on goal difference. Against Lugano, Metinho put them ahead in the 47th minute after an assist from Asane Sow, only for Cimignani (59'), Bislimi (61') and Kendouci (81') to turn the game around as Basel fell 1-3. That followed a 1-2 defeat to Sion just days earlier.
Luzern's recent results
The hosts arrive with a mixed run of form: a 1-1 draw away at Servette, a 1-0 win over Lausanne, a 3-0 win at Buochs, a 2-2 draw at St. Gallen, and a 0-3 loss at Sion most recently.
Personnel and what comes next
In their last outing against Lugano, Basel lined up in a 4-3-3 with Omlin in goal and Tsunemoto, Daniliuc, Victory and Vouilloz across the back line. Who starts in Luzern can be checked on the current squad list. Basel's league position is tracked in the standings, and the fixtures schedule already shows the next assignment, a home game against FC St. Gallen on 20 September, a side Basel lost 0-3 to back in March. St. Gallen currently sit fourth, just one place above Basel.
