Match Preview
In the upcoming UEFA Youth League clash, Basel U19 will host Rapid Wien U19 at the Leichtathletik-Stadion St. Jakob on Tuesday, 26 November. Basel enters the match with a mixed form, having secured two wins in their last five outings but suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest fixture. In contrast, Rapid Wien has shown more consistency, boasting an unbeaten run with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. This form could provide them with the psychological edge needed to perform well away from home.
A key angle to consider is the attacking prowess of Rapid Wien, who have managed to score in every match during their recent unbeaten streak. Basel's defensive vulnerabilities, highlighted by their last two matches where they conceded multiple goals, could be exploited. With odds suggesting a balanced contest, the potential for over 2.5 goals seems promising, especially given the historical trend of high-scoring encounters between these teams. Expect an engaging match with both sides eager to secure crucial points in the group stage.
