Red alarm at FCB! At no other Super League club is the flying weather stormier than on the knee of the Rhine. With Comas, Sigua, Barry, Beney, Veiga and Xhaka, six players have already been sent off this season. There are also 53 yellow cards. Only today’s opponent Yverdon and bottom team SLO are still behind Bebbi in the fair play ranking.
It’s no secret that the relegation battle is tough. The team from Basel has shown many times this season that their nerves are sometimes completely exhausted. The lead over Barrage is only three points. In the seven games against their direct cellar rivals GC, Lausanne and Ouchy, Rotblau only managed one meager point. Red alarm at FCB!
Jump-off place only three points away
If Celestini’s team loses an away match against Yverdon on Saturday and Lausanne takes three points at home against Winterthur on Sunday, FCB would again be up to its knees in the relegation swamp. Not an impossible scenario. Because Yverdon has a strong striker in Kevin Carlos (22). And because the people from Bazel do not have good memories of their last guest appearance in the Stade Municipal. At the end of September, FCB lost 2-3 after a bloodless performance, it was the beginning of the end for Timo Schultz. And because his successor Heiko Vogel scored zero points in four games and could not celebrate a goal, Celestini now has to eat the meager soup.
Their record is decent with eight wins in fourteen matches, but Romand can’t do magic either. What makes matters worse is that four players, López, Comas, Hunziker and Kololli, have been out injured for an extended period of time and FCB will also have to make do without the suspended Renato Veiga and Taulant Xhaka against Yverdon. Yverdon also has a sinner in its ranks who will miss the match against FCB: central defender Niklas Gunnarsson was thrown off the field last weekend against Lausanne after a hard foul. For Yverdon it is the fifth red color of the current season.
The fair play rating goes a long way, Basel against Yverdon is the kicker duel in the competition.
