Basel team overview
The reigning Swiss champions - FC Basel - have not had the best of starts to the new season. The opening game of the 2025/25 season in the Swiss Super League was lost 2-1 against St. Gallen, but in the second-round game against Grasshoppers, they managed a 2-1 win at St. Jakob-Park.
Dion Kacuri and Adriano Onyegbule are both sidelined with injuries and will not feature on Wednesday. Philip Otele has scored twice against Grasshoppers and is currently their biggest attacking threat up front.

Young Boys team overview
BSC Young Boys, on the other hand, have made a better start to the 2025/26 season and are still unbeaten after their first two games. The first game saw a convincing 3-1 win against Servette and later a 1-1 draw against Winterthur.
Gregory Wuthrich was substituted in the 65th minute against Winterthur and is doubtful. Edimilson Fernandes and Alan Virginius are two of the most dangerous forwards in the BSC Young Boys squad and have each scored in the first two games of the Swiss Super League.

Prediction
Although Young Boys have held the upper hand in recent H2H matches with three wins in a row, they have always been very close encounters in which the quality of the two teams has been pretty high. In four of the last five H2H encounters, both teams have scored a goal, and although Young Boys are currently on a three-game winning streak, FC Basel have the better home record in H2H encounters - they have won two of the three possible matches at St. Jakob-Park in recent years. With the game being so unpredictable and so early in the season, we're betting on both teams to score on Wednesday.
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings between FC Basel 1893 and BSC Young Boys, both teams have scored a goal
- Both teams in FC Basel and Young Boys matches have scored at least a goal in the first two games of the new season
- Both teams scored in Young Boys’ last 4 league matches, whereas the same outcome with both teams scoring was registered in 3 of FC Basel’s last 4 league encounters
