Frankfurt at Basel 8/6/2020 - Europa League Picks & Predictions

Frankfurt have not been the team that they were last season, but they have done a great job to reach the round of 16 of the Europa League. However, they suffered a really bad loss in the first leg at home and are now in need of a miracle in Switzerland in order to have chances.

Basel missed the chance to go to the Champions League this season when they fell against PSV Eindhoven in the second qualifying round. Even so, they went through the Europa League group stage to reach the round of 16 for the 4th time (W2 L1). They have an overall record of 6-2-3 at home in the Europa League knockout phase. Moreover, they are undefeated in their last nine home matches for the Europa League (7-0-2).

Frankfurt also started at the second qualifying round, but of the Europa League, and managed to make their way to the group stage, where they finished 2nd with nine points. They met with Salzburg in the round of 32, and managed to beat them like they did Inter Milan last season, in their first ever presence in the round of 32 in this competition. Frankfurt have a 11-4-4 record on the road in the Europa League, while this season they had a 2-1-1.
