FC Basel 1893 travel to FC Luzern on Sunday, 13 September 2026, with kickoff at 16.30 local time. The Matchday 8 fixture in the Super League will be played at the Thermoplan Arena, and for FC Basel it is a chance to halt a two-game losing run.
According to the league's official data, Basel sit only 5th in the Super League after seven games, on 10 points from three wins, one draw and three defeats, eight points behind leaders FC Lugano. A goal difference of zero, with 12 scored and 12 conceded, reflects the inconsistency of the young campaign.
A losing streak to end
FC Basel have dropped their last two matches. They lost 1:3 at home to FC Lugano on 6 September and 1:2 to FC Sion before that. Against Lugano, Metinho had put Basel ahead in the 47th minute with an assist from Asane Sow, only for Yanis Cimignani (59.), Uran Bislimi (61.) and Ahmed Kendouci (81.) to turn the game around.
Luzern's mixed run
The hosts arrive with an uneven record of their own: a 1:1 draw away at Servette, a 1:0 home win over Lausanne-Sport and a 3:0 win at Buochs, followed by a 2:2 draw at St. Gallen and a 0:3 defeat at Sion.
After the trip to Luzern, Basel are straight back at home: on 20 September they host fourth-placed FC St. Gallen, the side that beat them 3:0 back in March.
