Betting tip and prediction for this match between Basel vs Copenhagen

The best prediction for Basel vs Copenhagen in the Champions League is that three goals or fewer will be scored. Both teams exhibit quality in both defence and attack. Basel, while playing at home, will face a Copenhagen side with strong defensive capabilities, having conceded goals in only two of their last six away matches. Furthermore, Copenhagen recently drew 0-0 against a strong Malmo side in the first leg of the previous round, underscoring their defensive stability. Therefore, this match is likely to favour strong defensive performance, leading to a low-scoring outcome.

Match preview: Basel vs Copenhagen

Basel and Copenhagen will clash at St. Jakob-Park in a match for the UEFA Champions League (Play-offs). Based on our data, there have been no recent encounters between these two sides. Notably, the home advantage could be pivotal, as both teams show significant discrepancies in their home and away records.

Team analysis: Basel

The home team is set to play their first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League, looking to leverage the home advantage for a positive result. This team traditionally performs better at home, as reflected in their last 30 matches, where they achieved 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, scoring 33 goals and conceding 25. In contrast, at home, they have recorded 12 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss, with an impressive 41 goals scored and only 11 conceded. Basel enters this match following a 3-1 loss to Lugano. They have won 9 and lost 1 in their last 10 home matches across all competitions. While they have struggled with defensive solidity, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 games, their attack has remained consistent, scoring at least once in each of those matches. Notably, in their home games, 22 of the last 24 outings have finished with over 1.5 goals, although they have turned around the score after conceding first in 4 out of the 5 occasions this has happened.

Basel will adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on two holding midfielders to protect the defence, with three midfielders tasked with creating offensive plays, typically seeking opportunities for the centre-forward. While their recent home form features two wins and four draws in the last six games, three goals or fewer have been scored in four of those encounters.

Team analysis: Copenhagen

This squad has surprisingly shown stronger performances away than at home, with their last 30 matches yielding 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses as visitors, contrasted with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home. Copenhagen arrives at this match following a 3-1 victory over Nordsjælland. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, they have achieved 8 wins and 2 draws. Their defensive solidity has been notable, not conceding goals in the last 4 matches, alongside consistent attacking displays where they have scored in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition. In matches where they conceded first, they managed to turn the score around in 2 out of the 4 occasions. There is a notable trend in their last 20 away games: they conceded 8 of their 20 goals within the 46’–60′ minute period.

Copenhagen will enter the field in this match aiming to secure a favourable outcome in the first leg of the Champions League qualification play-offs, especially with the second leg on the horizon at their home ground. They are likely to adopt a 3-4-3 formation, employing a four-player line that can transition fluidly between defence and attack, aiming to support their three forwards. Their recent away performance is commendable, having netted four wins and two draws in their last six away matches, with less than 2.5 goals scored in four of these fixtures.
