Basel Preview – Can Basel finish the job?
If they don’t, they need shooting! Basel already have one foot firmly placed in the quarter-finals of the Europa League thanks to a resounding 3-0 win in the 1st leg away at Eintracht Frankfurt just before the lockdown was imposed, and they’ll be keen to finally put this tie to bed on the back of a decent run of form of late.
A solid seven-match unbeaten run in the closing stages of the Swiss Super League season saw Basel claim third place in the domestic top flight standings which ensures a spot in next season’s Europa league qualifiers, and having topped Group C with just one defeat during the group stage, the hosts will be confident of completing the job in hand here on Thursday night.
Form at home in the Europa League has also been impressive as Basel have picked up six wins on the trot which includes keeping four clean sheets and scoring a total of 14 goals during this period.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview – Can Frankfurt engineer comeback?
Conceding three goals to the away side in the 1st leg of this Europa League tie puts Eintracht Frankfurt firmly on the back foot ahead of this 2nd leg decider in Switzerland with the away-goal rule well and truly against the visitors here.
Eintracht Frankfurt do have a glimmer of hope to hold onto though as they were unbeaten in their last four matches of the Bundesliga season which included wins against Hertha Berlin, Schalke and Paderborn, while on the European front, Frankfurt registered a memorable 2-1 win away at Arsenal and picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Salzburg.
Perhaps the key to this 2nd leg though lies in the fact that Eintracht Frankfurt have managed to keep just four clean sheets from their last 15 away ties in this competition and this could cause further trouble at Basel in this tie.
