Form and Team Stats

Basel return to European action looking to protect one of the strongest home records in the entire UEFA Europa League. Their 2–1 loss away to Genk on matchday five continued a frustrating win-loss pattern (W2, L3), but crucially both wins came at home, each by a two-goal margin. The Swiss side enter this game unbeaten in their last three competitive fixtures (W2, D1) and remarkably have put together seven straight UEL home wins, the longest active run in the competition. They have not tasted a Europa League home defeat since October 2015, reinforcing St. Jakob-Park’s reputation as one of Europe’s trickiest away grounds.

Aston Villa arrive in Switzerland in outstanding form, having produced a statement 2–1 victory over Premier League leaders Arsenal at the weekend. Unai Emery’s side now stand on seven straight wins in all competitions, with their confidence backed further by four UEL victories in five (W4, L1). However, Villa’s away European record is more modest, winning just one of their last six UEFA Cup/UEL away matches (D1, L4). Despite this, the momentum surrounding the team — and their push to finish top of the league phase — suggests they will not lack belief on foreign soil.
