Tobias Gourlay expects the Swiss champions to make swift work of Thun this evening

FC Basel v Thun
Wednesday 18:45

Barcelona 5 Sevilla 4 in the Super Cup last night. Apparently there wasn't even a penalty shootout.

We should have stuck around, but the money was in our accounts by half-time and we needed to get all the way back to Switzerland for tonight's big Super League game.

Reigning champions FC Basel are already top of the table again (W4-D0-L0) and look set this evening to maintain that perfect record at home to Thun, who have lost this fixture in seven of its last nine runnings.

The visitors have leaked 11 times in losing three of their first four games of the new campaign. On the road, they've conceded within 13 minutes of kick-off in both outings so far.

So how do we bump up the 1.422/5 about a home win tonight?

Well, Basel have been winning at half-time in 11 of the 14 home matches they've won since the start of last season. Thun, meanwhile, have been losing at the break in 8/9 away defeats in the same period.
