Basel CSKA Sofia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be for Basel to win. In addition to going through a moment of great confidence, the home club has more and better weapons compared to their opponent, and is only natural that they dominate and enjoy more chances to score. On the other hand, CSKA Sofia has done well in the Europa League, however only facing inferior opponents. Thus, it is expected that Basel will take advantage of the home advantage to stamp the passage to the group stage of the Europa League.

Analysis Basel

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (Play‑offs) after having played in the previous rounds against: Anorthosis and Osijek. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium.

It is important to remember that the home team reaches this stage of the Europa League after beating Osijek by 1-2, and Anorthosis Famagusta, by 3-2. The team guided by Ciriaco Sforza should strongly act offensively from the first minutes, taking advantage of all the opponent's weaknesses. In addition, Basel must use the left aisle especially to create danger, largely because of the individual quality of winger Valentin Stocker: he is a very fast and strong player in transporting the ball to the attack. Out of this game are Luca Zuffi and Kuzmanovic, both injured.


Confirmed Lineup: Đorđe Nikolić, Omar Alderete, Silvan Widmer, Eray Cömert, Orges Bunjaku, Fabian Frei, Valentin Stocker, Andrea Padula, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Arthur, Afimico Pululu.
