Football Bet of the Day: Lots of fun for the neutrals in Switzerland

Thun v FC Basel
Sunday 15:00

Ivan Lenko's best-laid plans were quickly defenestrated in Belgium yesterday after a 15th-minute red card. Our bet went with them as Sint-Truiden never recovered and eventually lost 2-1 to Kortrijk.

Our week finishes in Switzerland, where top-of-the-table FC Basel are paying a visit to second-bottom Thun in the Super League. Since 2011, six of FC Basel's 10 trips to Thun have brought Over 3.5 Goals and that's our fancy for this afternoon's encounter at Arena Thun.

Jeff Saibene's Thun, underdogs for this one, have scored in 10/11 home league games since Basel's last visit and, having scored in 8/10 against Basel themselves, should fancy their chances of notching at least once today.

Urs Fischer's FC Basel have scored at least three times in each of their first five Super League games of the new campaign. Their first two away games have brought 3-2 and 5-1 successes and, going back to the beginning of last term, Fischer has watched 13/20 away games smash through the Over 3.5 Goals barrier.
