Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Despite their good record, Nice have actually failed to keep a single clean sheet across their last five matches and with both teams firing in four of their last five, Basel should feel confident they can get on the scoresheet. However, both teams have also scored in five of the hosts last seven outings which lends itself to the belief that both sides can contribute here.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

We do think both teams will get on the scoresheet here but we also think it could be a fairly cagey match. It’s hard to separate the two and so we will side with a 1-1 draw in Switzerland.

Both teams have scored in four of the visitors’ last five matches.

Flag bearers go to battle

These two sides are both the last representatives of Switzerland and France respectively and we could be in for a spectacle at St. Jakob-Park on Thursday night. The hosts had to grind out a victory in their last round as they overcame Slovan Bratislava by way of a penalty shootout after the tie ended 4-4 on aggregate. But they’ll feel sure they can test Nice here, particularly as Basel have got on the scoresheet in each of their last eight home matches.

Visitors Nice were able to cruise into this stage of the competition after beating Sheriff Tiraspol 4-1 on aggregate. The Eaglets are yet to lose on their travels in this competition and will cause plenty of problems to this Basel defence. However, what’s concerning is that they have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last five outings.

Both teams to get in on the scoring act

Neither side are putting on defensive masterclasses and chances should be on offer for both sides. With that in mind, both teams to score looks like a standout pick.
