Prediction: 1-1
Basel
Basel look unstoppable ahead of the trip to Turkey. The RotBlau have been scoring goals for fun in both Europa League and Swiss top flight of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Trabzonspor. Basel produce much better showings at home than on the travels, but they are definitely capable of holding the Turkish outfit to a draw at Medical Park Stadyumu.
Kevin Bua, who scored a brace in the 5-0 win over Krasnodar, will be one of the men to watch in the away team. Trabzonspor failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Getafe and given their poor form in the national championship, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. However, seeing that Turkish clubs are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw this time out.
