Basel vs Stuttgart Prediction: match preview, predicted lineups, tips & odds on October 2, 2025
Europa League
In the second round of the main stage of the Europa League on October 2, 2025, Basel and Stuttgart will face each other. Both teams are hoping for a win over their close rival.
Our Prediction for Basel vs Stuttgart
The Swiss side returned to the top spot in the Super League after an eight-year break. Moreover, they managed to secure a "golden double." However, after a coaching change, Manin’s arrival marked the start of a decline. They lost the first round to St. Gallen, and that was not their only setback. In the previous league game, they also lost to Luzern. The players were on the verge of failing in the cup too, drawing 1-1 with Etoile Carouge, but eventually advanced after a penalty shootout.
The Germans were runners-up in 2024, but then slipped to ninth place in the Bundesliga. They also failed to reach the Champions League playoffs. Nevertheless, they managed to win the German Cup. In the new cycle, Sebastian Hoeneß’s team started poorly (1-2 in the Supercup against Bayern, and only progressing in the cup after a penalty shootout following a 4-4 draw with Eintracht Braunschweig), but then began winning, albeit alternating with defeats. However, victories have become more frequent, including a 2-1 win over Köln.
This summer, the hosts played in the Champions League qualifiers. However, things did not go well against Copenhagen: 1-1 at home, 0-2 away in Denmark. Moving to the Europa League, they started with a fairly predictable 1-2 loss against another German side, Freiburg. Their guests opened their campaign with a match against Celta, securing a win with a "mirror" scoreline.
