Basel must be the pick at home
FC Basel vs FC Thun prediction sees FC Basel are favorites at 1.95 for Sunday's Super League contest with FC Thun in Switzerland, but the value of this game seems to lie in the draw odds at 3.9 or the away team at 3.25.
This will be a pure contrast of styles game with Basel's compact build-up and quick transitions against Thun's high pressing, quick break, attack-first identity.
Stephan Lichtsteiner's men have been a little blunt at the home ground in the Super League 2026/2027, failing to win their only fixture in front of their home fans and failing to score in that one match too. But their home record against FC Thun is two wins and one loss in the last three and they have plenty of experience of playing against the visitors, who will press them high from the start.
Thun are always in the mix
Marc Gutbub has been FC Thun's most effective finisher this season with one goal in two, but midfielder Lucien Dahler has shown plenty of creativity on the field, registering one assist so far. Brighton Labeau is the most reliable finisher, having scored three of his team's four goals in the past five matches.
Basel sit 7th in the Super League 2026/2027 with three points from their opening two matches, only just ahead of FC Thun in 8th on the same number of points. The Basel preview suggests Basel followed a very good away win at Servette with a disappointing 0-1 home loss to Lausanne-Sports, so momentum is not on their side coming into this one.
FC Thun have started the season well on the road, winning their only Super League away match so far and remaining unbeaten away from home. But their last two games were a 3-2 extra-time defeat away to GNK Dinamo Zagreb and a 0-6 loss at home to BSC Young Boys Bern.
Home advantage should see Basel through
FC Basel vs FC Thun betting tips point to Basel will get plenty of chances if they can get the ball past Thun's first press, but they are not in the best of form and we do not rate them to dominate this game. Our prediction also leans toward Thun will press high and try to force turnovers, but they are not in good form and we can see the hosts edging this one in a game with goals.
Over 2.5 goals is coming in at 1.44 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.38, which is too short for an end-to-end Super League game, so we'll take Basel to win and a goal in the match.
Zan Celar is Basel's current top scorer in the Super League 2026/2027 with one in two and he is the most likely man to break the ice this Sunday at St. Jakob Park.
