FC Basel 1893 team overview
Basel return to St. Jakob-Park after battling back from two goals down to claim a 3:3 draw against Young Boys on Saturday.
Kazeem Olaigbe, Asane Sow and Akpe Victory scored as Stephan Lichtsteiner’s side secured a point in Bern.
Saturday’s draw leaves the RotBlau second in the Swiss Super League after picking up ten points from their first five fixtures.
Lichtsteiner’s side have been involved in several high-scoring encounters this season. Each of their last five matches finished with BTTS and at least three goals scored. A total of 29 goals were scored in those fixtures, including a 5:2 friendly defeat against Barcelona and a 4:2 home win against Thun.
Basel boss Stephan Lichtsteiner has several players unavailable this week. Bennett Hoch, Coleen Louis, Jonas Omlin, Gabriel Sigua and Kaio Eduardo are expected to miss Thursday’s Swiss Super League contest with various injury issues.
Lichtsteiner could retain the same lineup that started against Young Boys.

FC Sion team overview
Sion make the trip to Basel after slipping to a 2:1 home defeat against Lugano on Sunday.
Dereck Moncada fired the visitors into a third-minute lead before Winsley Boteli equalised ten minutes after the interval. Beckham Castro’s late strike ensured a disappointing day at the office for Les Sédunois.
Last weekend’s Super League setback came only three days after Sion’s elimination from the Conference League playoffs. Didier Tholot’s side suffered a 5:3 defeat against Ajax in Amsterdam, completing a remarkable 9:5 aggregate reversal.
Four games into their domestic campaign, Sion sit fifth in the division with two wins and two defeats recorded.
Like the home side, high-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the visitors. Each of their last ten games finished with at least three goals scored, while both teams found the net in their last seven matches. An average of 4.9 goals per game were scored in those fixtures.
Head coach Tholot is unable to call on several first-team players this week. Kreshnik Hajrizi, Kevin Behrens, Martim Marques, Ezgjan Alioski and Claudio Cassano are expected to remain unavailable.

Prediction
Basel and Sion meet at St. Jakob-Park in a fixture that should deliver plenty of goalmouth action.
Both teams should score in a game where we can expect at least four goals scored.
Over 3.5 goals is my best value bet on Thursday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Over 3.5 Goals
- FC Basel 1893 have seen over 3.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches
- FC Sion have seen over 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches
- FC Sion have seen an average of 4.9 goals per game in their last 10 matches
