Basel's equivalent sample shows seven wins, three draws and ten losses, with 42 scored but 49 conceded. Several of those have been high-scoring away days, including a 1-3 defeat at St. Gallen and a 2-4 loss at Luzern, suggesting their defence has had a tough time on the road lately.

Basel's away form has been leaky, while Vaduz's home form has swung both ways.

Comparative Team Statistics: FC Vaduz vs FC Basel 1893

History between these two

These sides have met ten times since 2016, mixing Super League fixtures with pre-season friendlies. Basel have won four of those, including a 6-0 thrashing back in 2016, while Vaduz have won twice and four have finished level.

The most recent meeting, though, was a friendly back in March this year, which Vaduz actually won 5-2.

History leans towards Basel, but a lot of it is old or came in friendlies that don't carry much weight now.

The table tells its own story

Basel are fourth with 13 points from nine Super League games, having won four, drawn one and lost four. Vaduz are down in eleventh on just six points from the same number of matches, winning only twice.

That's a seven-point gap between two sides who've played the same number of fixtures this season.

On the numbers so far, Basel look the stronger side by some distance.

How this one could go

Vaduz have proven they can score at home, but they've also shipped goals in defeats there this season. Basel's away form has swung between heavy wins and heavy losses, rarely settling into anything tidy.

Both sides have been involved in games finishing 3-1, 3-2 or higher recently, so goals at both ends wouldn't be a shock if that pattern continues.

Neither side looks like keeping a clean sheet is a given, home or away.
