Basel will welcome Nice to Switzerland this weekend with the Ligue 1 outfit down in ninth as Basel continue to struggle in what is turning out to be one of their worst seasons in the Swiss Super League for a number of years.
Basel are in sixth ahead of this game and they have not been down in the Swiss Super League and the club have not been this low in the table for a number of years as Heiko Vogel also sees his side out of the Swiss Cup at the semi-finals stage after a loss to BSC Young Boys.
An own goal did bring Basel back into the game slightly, as Dan Ndoye brought the scoreline to 4-2. The Swiss giants also drew to the struggling FC Zurich last time out and the club are now sitting one point of fourth-placed Luzern in the Europa Conference League qualifiers position. Basel are adrift of Young Boys by 22 points now with eight wins on the board and eight losses with 11 draws too. Vogel's side have now scored 36 goals in 27 games and have let in 32 as well.
Nice are the narrow favourites on the night to win this game and come into the tie with a 1/3 price to advance through as the winner of the tie across two legs.
