In the opening 30 minutes of their first game against Basel, the Northern Irish club remained in the majority after the suspension of the Albanian midfielder Taulant Xhaka. However, it only helped the Crusaders to avoid a heavy defeat. Basel opened the scoring before the end of the first half and doubled their lead in the second. They almost left themselves no chance of qualifying for the next round after the first game (0:2).
Basel
It is possible that without Xhaka's suspension, Basel would have beaten the Crusaders in the first leg by a wide margin. However, 2:0 should be more than enough for the Swiss side to qualify for the next round.
Before traveling to Northern Ireland, Basel failed to beat Servette in the Swiss league (1:1). In the first leg, Basel drew 1:1 with Winterthur.
Expert Betting Tips
In the return leg in Northern Ireland, Basel is unlikely to be too stressed after a 2:0 win in the first leg. Basel is likely to play in energy-saving mode. The Crusaders are unlikely to score, but Basel is unlikely to score more than one or two goals.
