This Friday, in the semi-finals of the European Cup of Associations, Swiss side Basel will host Serie A side Fiorentina at home. This will be the second meeting between the two teams, having last met in a 2-1 away win away at Fiorentina in Baselmar. This match is worth the fans' anticipation, let's take a look at how the fighting power of both sides is.
Basel has not been in great shape, with just three wins, four draws and three defeats in their last 10 matches. In particular, the home side has not been good, with only 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats in the last 10 home games, scoring 14 goals and conceding 16 goals, and the defense is relatively weak. However, it is worth mentioning that Basel has performed relatively well in this season's European Championship, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat so far, including a 2-1 away defeat to Fiorentina in the last match.
In contrast, Florence has been more stable. They have won seven, drawn and lost two of their last 10 matches, especially away from home. They have won seven, drawn and lost two of their last 10 away games, scoring 25 goals and conceding only nine. In this week's semi-finals, Fiorentina will be looking to maintain their away advantage and strive for good results.
The last time the two teams met, Basel beat Fiorentina 2-1 away, but Fiorentina are expected to fight back away from home on Friday. They have been relatively good away from home and this is the key to their good results. However, Basel's home advantage cannot be underestimated and they need to do their best to win with the support of their fans.
Based on the above analysis, we can predict that this match will be a sticky match, but in the end, Basel is expected to narrow a victory at home to Fiorentina.
