Basel seem to be back to the good old days, at least they're in the top three of the Swiss Super League, something that hasn't happened for a long time. Season after season, this team almost always boasts one of the biggest budgets and a lot of quality, but this rarely translates into good results. But this year things look different. Under the guidance of F. Celestini, this formation has shown itself to be much more consistent, and when it manages to combine that consistency with the quality it has at individual level, the results come! The way Basel overcame Yverdon at such a difficult ground was a good “sample” of what Basel can do. Whether they'll be title contenders is still too early to tell, but they're in a good position.
