REF’s picks

FC Basel return to St. Jakob-Park looking to bounce back immediately from a disappointing defeat, and their superior squad quality makes them clear favourites against a depleted Grasshopper side. Grasshoppers arrive with significant injury concerns of their own and have struggled to find consistency on the road. While Basel must cope with several notable absentees in midfield and defence, their attacking options led by Xherdan Shaqiri should dictate the tempo.

1Basel boast strong home advantage at St. Jakob-Park and superior individual quality across the pitch.
2Grasshoppers are missing several regular players due to injuries, severely limiting their depth.
3Basel's recent shock defeat highlights defensive vulnerabilities that a counter-attacking opponent could exploit.
