1.85Tip and bets
Basel played the first part of the season at a very high level, but the most important part of the championship is ahead and the red-blues are preparing for it intensively. A few days ago, Basel left no chance for Thun, scored only two, but did not realize many chances. Today, Schaffhausen will clearly be under the same pressure and will definitely not remain without conceding goals, but at the same time, they will probably also take risks and it should not be difficult to respond with one goal, in the last three matches they managed to score against Basel.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the outcome
Basel is the undisputed favorite of the match – they have a huge advantage in class and experience. It is obvious that the red-blues will strive to win today and it should not be difficult for them to achieve their goal – Schaffhausen does not have a powerful reserve and a few days ago, with its most fighting lineup, lost 0:3 to another representative of the Super League in the person of Lucerne, Basel is capable of creating even greater problems.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on Basel. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
