Basel vs Bellinzona tips and predictions

Bellinzona can hold off Basel

Basel may be superior than Bellinzona but it is hard to get excited about backing them.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Basel has made them unbackable. Bellinzona don't look likely to get the job done but they can make a fist of this.

This fixture has been complex to analyse with confidence but given the hosts' recent defensive record on their own patch, the draw is the recommendation..

Basel are the clear favourites and it is possible they just don't give any nibbles away to Bellinzona. It might not be a widespread opinion but the No BTTS option seems sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 2.5 Goals in this game after considering the prices available.

Basel have drawn 7 of their last 14 matches. Also Bellinzona have drawn 2 of their last 6 matches. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw is food for thought. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a close encounter.

Of course, Bellinzona are a second tier side so it remains to be seen how they adapt to the challenge presented by their superior rivals on their own turf.
