Basel form and stats

Last season, Basel's Europa Conference League journey ended in the 8th finals against Olympique Marseille.

5 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Basel have to build on here at St. Jakob-Park in the Super League. 9W-6D-4L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa Conference League for Basel.

Basel are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-6 away versus St. Gallen. Basel were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Basel's goalkeeper Salvi was extremely busy against St. Gallen, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves. The striker Zeqiri won the honour of being "man of the match" for Basel with the rating of 7.2/10. Zeqiri scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Before that, a fine away victory at Fiorentina. A Europa Conference League match.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Lugano are coming to town in three days.

The Basel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 16 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
