Analysis Basel

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 1 goal, after the (0‑1) away win in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 26 conceded. In their last match, for the Super League, they got a home win against Sion by (3‑2). In the last 10 home matches Basel has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Basel comes for this match with a 3-2 victory over Sion, adding the third straight win in several competitions. We remember that the Swiss conquered a positive result in the first leg, beating Vitesse away from home by 0-1. In this second leg, coach Marcel Koller should play in the usual 4-2-3-1 with Ajeti being the offensive reference of the home team. It will be natural that the locals enter very defensive in the game, since they present some difficulties in their style of game. Antonio, Kevin Bua and Kuzmanovic continue to be injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Jonas Omlin, Silvan Widmer, Raoul Petretta, Eray Cömert, Éder Balanta, Fabian Frei, Serey Dié, Luca Zuffi, Valentin Stocker, Albian Ajeti, Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
Coach: A. Frei.

Analysis Vitesse

After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 1 goal and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Eredivisie, they got a home win against Groningen by (5‑1). In the last 10 away matches Vitesse has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Vitesse arrives at this game with a huge victory over Groningen, by 5-1, in a game to count for the first round of the Dutch Championship. In the 4 official games played this season, Vitesse added only 1 sloss. In this game against Basel, coach Leonid Slutski should play in the usual 4-3-3 privileging possession and organized attacks, especially through the aisles: Navarone Foor is one of the main creators and organizers of the offensive process. On the other hand, Tim Matavz is one of the most dangerous players in front of attack, being this very competent in the finalization. For this game the coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Eduardo, Vyacheslav Karavaev, Alexander Büttner, Maikel Van der Werff, Jake Clarke-Salter, Matúš Bero, Navarone Foor, Thulani Serero, Tim Matavz, Roy Beerens, Bryan Linssen.
