Victory for FC Basel
FC Basel have shown a tremendous run of form over the last few weeks and they have been blitzing past many opponents who have come their way. Hammarby have been quite inconsistent and the manner of the first leg defeat against Cukaricki in the previous round raises doubts ahead of this match. Apart from a spectacular second leg victory against Cukaricki, Hammarby have not shown anything positive of late.
Total goals over 2.5
Basel have been overpowering opponents with amazing ease over the last few games. They have scored over 3.5 goals in four out of the last five matches. Hammarby are expected to provide a stiffer opposition but this is a team which conceded over 2.5 goals in the away leg of the previous round.
Goals from both teams – yes
Hammarby know that they can give a fighting chance of progressing to the group stages by scoring on the road. This is likely to help the team push a lot of players going forward even if it means allowing Basel the time and space to make the most of their recent form.
