UEFA Europa League round of 32, the evening of Thursday, February 20 Turkey time 20:00, will be the scene of Basel struggling with APOEL Nicosia.
APOEL :
On the APOEL front, the coach changes the season. Until now, the last time we left behind with the third coach, the host, agreed with Marinos Ouzounidis, and reached 4-1 victory against Apollo. In the 1st League of Cyprus, 2 weeks before the end of the season, the host, who ranked 3rd behind 5 points behind the leader, left the hopes of championship to miracle. APOEL collected 10 points from 6 matches in the UEFA Europa League and managed to leave the groups by taking the 2nd place. Leaving the last 3 European exams with a win and defeating a strong opponent like Sevilla in this process, the team wants to continue its rise under the leadership of Ouzounidis. Vujadin Savic has a card penalty in the host.
Basel :
Basel fell to the 3rd place of the Swiss Super League after several consecutive losses in recent weeks. In the guest team, which can win only 1 win from the last 5 league matches, the throne of the coach Marcel Koller is shaking. Another mistake to be made on the front of Basel will dismiss the coach. The guest team, which performed a marvelous group performance on the European stage and participated in the Last 32 Tour as the leader with 13 points at the end of 6 weeks, did not give confidence after the loss of points in the last weeks. The injuries of Kuzmanovic, Wolfswinkel, Kevin Bua and Van Der Werff in the Basel team continue.
I think that the parties will exhibit a cautious football in the first match and the first half 1.5 goal threshold will not be exceeded in this struggle, where two teams away from stability will face.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,83
