It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as Basel host Nice. This is a Quarter-finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Basel form and stats
Last season, Basel's Europa Conference League journey ended in the 8th finals against Olympique Marseille.5-6-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Basel so far this season. This match is a Europa Conference League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in this competition.
Basel shared the glory with Zurich in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. López was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.44 out of 10. The defender López scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 5 of 10 duels.
Ahead of that fixture, a home defeat in the Swiss Cup against Young Boys.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus Young Boys in only three days. This game is also played here at Nachwuchs-Campus Basel Feld 1.
The Basel fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 22 goals in 13 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Nice form and stats
6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Nice playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. Total Europa Conference League statistics for Nice: 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
Nice might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. PSG proved too strong as Nice slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Allianz Riviera. Midfield player Thuram was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.61/10. Thuram hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 48 successful passes (of 57 total).
A 1-1 draw at Angers SCO's stadium before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nice manager Digard as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Brest.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nice have scored 20 goals in 15 league games away. Nice are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 14 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
