Basel vs Fiorentina Betting Tips

Basel’s recent Swiss League form has not been strong. Since beating Belenenses 2-0 away in Europa League action, Basel have lost consecutive games to Grasshoppers and FC St. Gallen. They’ll look to bounce back agaist Fiorentina, a team that they beat last time these two teams faced.

Basel top a tough group, but Lech Poznan and Belenenses both have four points and are strong enough teams to disrupt the top of the group’s table over the last two games.

Fiorentina’s own form has been a little erratic, though they do find themselves close to the top of Serie A. They were held 2-2 by Empoli in their latest Serie A game this weekend. They picked up a huge win against Lech Poznan in Poland in their last Europa League action though and theres no questioning their offensive talent.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Basel’s recent defensive record

Their recent form defensively hasn’t been good and we think there’s a good chance they’ll struggle to hold their own in this match-up.

2. Fiorentina scoring

They’ve scored eight goals in four games in Europa League qualifying and they’re always amongst the goals, they’ll find a way to hit the back of the net in this match-up.

3. Goals last time the two teams met

It was an open game and an attacking game the last time these two teams met. It ended with a 2-1 win for Basel.
