Grasshopper – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Grasshoppers" were close to another humiliation last season. They finished second to last in the final standings but managed to secure their spot by winning the playoff matches against Thun.
In Zurich, they tried to learn from their mistakes but started the new championship with a loss – they were defeated away 1-2 by Lugano, despite leading against the vice-champions until the 61st minute. Hosting Lucerne afterward, they were again close to victory but had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Basel – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "RotBlau" have gradually come to terms with losing their dominance – not long ago, they epitomized Swiss football, winning a dozen championship titles since the turn of the century, including an uninterrupted streak from 2010 to 2017. However, that success has dwindled, and last season they finished in a modest eighth place.
Celestini's team started the new season with a loss – they were defeated 2-3 by Lausanne in a shootout. Subsequently, they even lost at home, though it was against the vice-champions, Lugano.
