Match Facts
Basel have won five of their last 10 major European games against English opponents (D1 L4), with their most recent game a 2-1 away win at Man City in March 2018 in the UEFA Champions League.
Aston Villa and Basel met in the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup final – after a 1-1 draw in Switzerland in the first leg, Villa won 4-1 in the second leg with goals from Darius Vassell, Juan Pablo Angel (x2) and David Ginola to qualify for the 2001-02 UEFA Cup.
Basel have won each of their last seven home UEFA Europa League matches – the longest current ongoing winning home run in the competition – and are unbeaten in 10 on home soil (W8 D2) since a 2-1 defeat to Belenenses in October 2015.
