Match Preview

Even though they are superior on aggregate, Basel cannot afford to let their guard down, because Fiorentina will not just give up. Vincenzo Italiano’s side have an unbeaten record on Swiss soil, scoring at least two goals in each of their five European matches away to the Swiss side. They have also lost just one of their 11 European games outside of Italy, which suggests they can do well on the road.

Fiorentina also has enough ammunition to break into the Basel defense that maintains the advantage. They have Dusan Vlahovic, scorer of 21 goals in Serie A this season, and Giacomo Bonaventura, who will miss their next Serie A match after receiving a red card last weekend, and may want to make amends by scoring here.

Basel also can’t rely on their solid home form which has seen them lose just three of their last 23 European matches at home. They need to do better than when they lost 6-1 in the Swiss Super league against St. Gallen last weekend. Coach Heiko Vogel made nine changes to his starting line-up as a forgiving factor in the loss, but he had to field his best team to secure a place in the final.

Basel are also hoping Amdouni can continue his goalscoring trend, having scored six goals in his last six UECL matches. He was a key player for Basel, along with Arthur Cabral and Valentin Stocker, who also scored in the first leg.

The result of this game is very important for both teams, because winning this competition seems to be the best way for them to return to action on the European stage next season. Basel are four points adrift of the European qualifying places in their domestic league, while Fiorentina are ninth in Serie A and finding it difficult to chase a Champions League place.
