In their last match, they lost away to Salzburg (3-1). The last game played was in the Swiss Super League, where they won against Zürich (3-4). In their last 10 home matches, Basel has recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. The team has allowed goals to their opponents in 6 of the last 7 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity; however, their attack has been consistent, scoring in 6 of the last 7 matches in this competition. In their home games, there is a tendency for goals, as 23 of their last 26 matches have ended with more than 1.5 goals. Out of 15 matches, they have managed only 1 comeback in the 9 matches where they conceded the first goal.

Basel comes into this match with a win of 3-4 in their visit to Zürich’s stadium, in a game valid for the Swiss league: the goals were scored by Xherdan Shaqiri (3) and Philip Otele. In the last match in the Europa League, the hosts lost to RB Salzburg 3-1. The Swiss team usually lines up in a 4-3-3 formation, taking advantage of the mobility and speed of their attacking players. Jeremy Agbonifo, Albian Ajeti, and Philip Otele form an offensive trio that is expected to trouble the opposing defense. The left flank is often the preferred route in attacking maneuvers, thanks to the depth and intensity provided by Dominik Schmid. Keigo Tsunemoto, Moritz Broschinski, Nicolas Vouilloz, and Metinho, all injured, will miss this game.
