- Basel’s leaky backline continues to hurt them
- The Swiss champions have managed just one clean sheet in 12 matches this season, conceding six goals across their last three fixtures.
- Stuttgart reliable scorers but not watertight away
- All four of Stuttgart’s away games this term have ended with both teams scoring, underlining their offensive strength but defensive vulnerability.
- Shaqiri driving Basel’s attack
- With six goals already this season, four of them before half-time, Basel’s talisman remains the most likely route to troubling Stuttgart’s defence.
Best Bet for Basel vs Stuttgart
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) | |
9/10 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing both teams to score makes sense as Basel’s attack is lively but their defence porous, while Stuttgart carry consistent threat yet leak goals away. Expect goals at both ends in Switzerland. | |
Basel’s St Jakob-Park will play host to a tense Europa League contest on Thursday evening as the Swiss champions square up to Bundesliga challengers Stuttgart. The home side come into the match under mounting pressure, not least because their campaign has already hit turbulence with a 2-1 loss at Freiburg followed by a damaging domestic defeat against Luzern. Their defensive frailties have been a recurring theme this season, and their backline will once again be put to the test against an in-form German side.

Stuttgart, on the other hand, are riding the wave of a strong run in both domestic and European football. With three consecutive wins in all competitions, including a gritty 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in their Europa League opener, confidence is visibly growing in Sebastian Hoeness’s squad. The Swabians are building a reputation for balancing attacking flair with clinical finishing, making them a dangerous proposition for any opponent. This clash is not just about three points – it’s about Basel salvaging belief and Stuttgart consolidating momentum.
Best Bet for Basel v Stuttgart
At BettingTips4You, we pride ourselves on quality over quantity. That means we’re not giving you five different selections and leaving you scratching your head about which to follow. Instead, we provide just one prediction per event – the Best Bet – which we stand behind as the most reliable call for this clash. For Basel v Stuttgart, our chosen tip is Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
The reasoning behind this choice lies in the balance of both teams’ form, tactical setup, and recent patterns. Basel are undeniably struggling defensively, but they are also dangerous in attack, largely thanks to the influence of Xherdan Shaqiri. Already on six goals this season, and often striking before half-time, he remains the home side’s biggest weapon. With Basel conceding six goals across their last three games, keeping Stuttgart out seems unlikely – but equally, their attacking drive, particularly at home, makes it hard to see them drawing a blank either.
On the Stuttgart side, the options going forward are impressive. Ermedin Demirovic has been in fine scoring form in the Bundesliga, while Bilal El Khannouss and Badredine Bouanani both found the net in the win over Celta Vigo. This shows their attacking output isn’t reliant on one man but spread across their frontline. Their defence has not been flawless, however – all four of their away matches this season have ended with both teams scoring. Basel will view that as encouragement, knowing that the Germans can be opened up.

“Stuttgart are clearly in form and should find a way to score, but their tendency to leak goals away from home opens the door. Basel may be fragile, but Shaqiri gives them bite. Both teams getting on the scoresheet feels the safest angle in what looks like an evenly contested tie.”
The atmosphere in Basel will add intensity, and while Stuttgart might shade possession and chances, the Swiss side’s desperation to turn their form around could push them forward recklessly. This blend of styles makes BTTS the logical choice. For punters seeking an additional angle, a 1-1 scoreline feels realistic. It reflects Basel’s ability to rally at home while acknowledging Stuttgart’s quality – but also the likelihood that neither side will run away with it.
