FC Basel v Grasshoppers Zurich
Saturday 19:00
Success in the Czech Republic yesterday evening, when Zlin won 3-1 at Slovacko, was followed by the week's first disappointment in Spain last night, as Sociedad and Espanyol only got as far as 1-1.
Top of the Swiss Super League again, FC Basel have scored 3.5 goals a game on their own through the first six rounds of the season. Urs Fischer's champions entertain Grasshoppers Zurich today and we fancy them to express themselves freely once more. Since the start of the 2014/15 campaign, 5/8 head-to-heads have brought Over 3.5 Goals and that's our bet for today.
Basel have delivered Over 3.5 Goals on three of their last five league outings, while each of those last five rounds have brought at least three match goals for Pierluigi Tami's visitors.
Grasshoppers have scored themselves in all three road games this term and, with Basel rampant at the other end, we like the price on this one going over and above the slightly higher 3.5 goals line.
