Eintracht Frankfurt vs Basel Soccer Betting Tips

The teams from Eintracht Frankfurt and Basel are scheduled to meet next Thursday at the Commerzbank-Arena, in a match for the Europa League round of 16 first leg. The team led by Adi Hütter has not had a positive track record in the Bundesliga, but remains hopeful in UEFA’s second biggest competition, where it wants to repeat last season’s performance. After securing a European qualification against Salzburg and the German Cup against Werder Bremen, Eintracht were beaten in their visit to Bayer Leverkusen (0-4) in the last round of the Bundesliga. Basel, meanwhile, have not competed since the tie against APOEL (4-0 win in the aggregate), since the Swiss championship was suspended until the last week of March, due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus. In the Swiss Superliga, Marcel Koller’s team is below expectations, occupying 3rd place, five points behind Sankt Gallen and Young Boys.

Soccer Betting Tips Eintracht Frankfurt vs Basel

This will be a challenge between two teams at a slightly different competitive level, because Eintracht Frankfurt competes in one of the best leagues in world football and will face a Basel going through an inconsistent season. Without competing for more than two weeks, the Swiss may experience some lack of pace, which, in the face of a usually strong Eintracht on their ground, could be costly.
