Basel have been in fine form recently. Out of their last six fixtures, they have managed five wins and a solitary draw. The club has scored 16 goals during this period which clearly indicates their attacking prowess. Basel are eight points off the summit in their domestic league with a game in hand and are the overwhelming favourites to qualify from group H of the Conference League.
Slovan Bratislava will be greatly disappointed by their form in recent outings. They have earned just two wins to go with three draws and a loss in their last six matches. FC Pyunik handed them a heavy 2-0 defeat on matchday two which followed a 0-0 stalemate with Zalgiris Vilnius on the opening matchday. The club has a lot of work on their hands to reverse their situation.
Basel will most likely miss the services of the injured Riccardo Calafiori, Sergio Lopez, Yannick Marchand, Emmanuel Essiam, Anton Kade and Tician Tushi. For Slovan Bratislava, Michal Sulla and Jaba Kankava won’t feature.
Basel possible line-up: Hitz, Lang, Freixas, Kasim, Katterbach, Xhaka, Burger, Ndoye, Augustin, Millar, Szalai
Slovan Bratislava possible line-up: Chovan, Kashia, Abena, Morlacchi, Pauschek, Kucka, Agbo, Zmrhal, Barseghyan, Saponjic, Chakvetadze
