Already outside the Champions League and also from the race to the third position that would mean participation in the Europa League. One of the worst vintages of Benfica in the cups will stop at home against Basel, a team that still has the opportunity to qualify for the knockout stages. The Benfica of Rui Vitoria, stopped at 0 points, did not go beyond 0-0 also in the supersfide of the last day of the championship at Porto and for the occasion it will not be able to line up for injury Filipe Augusto and Ruben Dias.
Raphael Wicky’s Basle won in Lausanne for 1-4 in the last round of the championship with goals from Mohamed Elyounoussi, Albian Ajeti, Michael Lang and Renato Steffen and in Lisbon he will present himself without injured Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Germano Vailati and Omar Gaber . There are also three – Pacheco, Diè and Bua – players in doubt for this challenge.
Benfica have lost all the matches played in this group stage of the Champions League.
In 4 of the 5 races of this group stage, Benfica has never managed to score goals.
Benfica took at least 2 goals in 5 of the last 6 games played in the Champions League.
Between league and cup, Basel won the last 5 games played.
The Basel must score points so as not to risk being excluded from the second phase of the tournament. Benfica always plays in front of their own people and will try to honor the challenge.
Over 2,5 goals @ 1.65
