Basel vs Trabzonspor Prediction: Will the Swiss club recover?

Basel lost to Trabzonspor in the first match of the UEFA Comference League Qualifying Playoff with a score of 0:1. Will the Swiss club recover?

Basel was the outsider in the first match and justified that status. The Swiss club lost 0:1, although the score could easily have been much bigger. Basel, in turn, had very little ball possession and occasionally made its way toward the Trabzonspor goal. However, fortunately for Basel, they left Turkey with only one goal conceded, which means that nothing has been decided yet - the return match is ahead, where the team must show their best football in front of their fans.

Trabzonspor managed to live up to the expectations of both their fans and bookmakers in the first game. On xG the club from Trabzon scored 2.46, which means they could easily score two or three goals. Moreover, one goal was canceled due to offside. The Turkish team was in complete control of the game and miraculously didn't score a second goal. Trabzonspor has been dismal on the road, having failed to win in regulation time in the past nine games.

Trabzonspor had a great first game, but we don't expect the same dominance from the Turkish club in the second. First of all, their results on the road are disappointing, and they will play in a foreign country. The hosts, who after the first game with the support of their fans, just have to rehabilitate themselves. In general, we expect a spectacular match and exchange of goals.
