Only the goalie comparison speaks for a win in Basel

Switzerland is looking forward to the cup final between YB and Basel. The Berners all won the last three matches in this competition. Can FCB stop this trend Tuesday night? The chances are not great when it comes to Stéphane Henchoz (48). He has checked both teams and for him the roles are clear.

The former Liverpool star only sees Basel better positioned in the goalkeeping position. “Both keepers are good. However, Anthony Racioppi is a bit younger than Marwin Hitz and therefore has less experience. And that is important in such a duel,” says Henchoz. Basel is leading 1-0 in the team check.

YB always has an advantage

In defense, the situation is already different. “YB has Cédric Zesiger, who is very good and will probably go abroad. With Aurèle Amenda, they also have a young player with a lot of potential. I see the Bernese at the back much more stable than Basel.” YB is right.

The same image can be seen in midfield. Here too, the current Super League leader has the better cards. “Even if the Basel players have quality as individuals,” says Henchoz. It is still uncertain who will play at FCB. But the ex-Nati star knows who he’d bet on and why. “Taulant Xhaka. He would bring experience.” In general, he likes YB better in midfield and defense. 2:1 for YB.

And which team has the more dangerous storm? «I prefer Jean-Pierre Nsame and Cedric Itten. They are in top form and scoring goals. Basel has good individual players like Zeki Amdouni and Andi Zeqiri. But I wonder if that is enough to score in such a top match? Maybe not.”

So Henchoz’s team check is a foregone conclusion. YB wins it 3-1. Will it be just as obvious on the pitch?
