Anything but a win at the bottom of the Super League would be a major setback for Basel. Especially since YB and St. Gallen are looking forward to next week.

Guest with FCB on Saturday in Vaduz
Valentin Stocker and Julian von Moos.

If FCB win in Vaduz on Saturday, it would be the first time in more than 15 months that Basel could win 3 games in a row in the Super League (back then it was 4 wins in a row). These statistics alone demonstrate the lack of consistency of the “red-blue” in recent months, one could also say: years.
Victories must come, no matter how
The inconstancy of the FCB also happens by the individual parties. In victories against Servette last Saturday and more recently Wednesday against Sion, strong phases alternated with weak periods. Neither the 1-0 victory against Geneva nor the 4-2 victory against Valais came under the title of “sovereign.”
The thing to give the Basel team credit: In both games, they found ways to deal with setbacks and somehow win the games. And the points are currently the only thing that helps coach Ciriaco Sforza’s team.
Compulsory task in the “Ländle”
If FCB does not want to lose contact with the former, on Saturday in Vaduz we have to add 3 more points. Against the Super League final, Basel have never lost in 17 league duels so far (13 wins, 4 draws). From Basel’s point of view, it would be an extremely inopportune moment if the series of undefeated victories against the Liechtensteiners ended in the 18th game.
FCB will host Leader YB on Wednesday. The Sforza team deficit over Bernese is 5 points before Matchday 11. Furthermore, Basel has one more game to play than YB. Just 3 days later, FC St. Gallen arrives in St. Jakob-Park.
FC Basel’s rivals until the end of the year
| date | adversary |
|---|---|
| December 12th | Vaduz (a) |
| December 16 | YB (h) |
| 19. December | St. Gallen (h) |
| December 23th | Lucerne (a) |
On Saturday, FCB de Vaduz has the possibility of a perfect week with 9 points from 3 games. Where exactly the Basel team will be heading this season will probably only be known a week later.
