Basel vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
Will we again witness a magical night in Basel’s St. Jakobs Park? Already at this early stage of the season, the Swiss top club needs such an evening, otherwise the fans have to wait at least one more year for international football at the highest level. The return match in the second round of the Champions League qualification is on the program and it comes to the duel between FC Basel and PSV Eindhoven!
The Koller-Elf lost an excellent starting situation last week in the last minutes of the game. Instead of taking the return journey with a victory in their luggage, two late goalscoring resulted in a narrow defeat. Hope is the fact that even two away goals could be achieved. A 1: 0 or 2: 1 Basel would therefore suffice. The fact is, however, that between FC Basel and PSV Eindhoven the tip on the home win must be right, so that the Bebbies progress. The second leg will be kicked off at 19 pm on Tuesday evening.
FC Basel :
After a strong spring, FC Basel were able to celebrate a perfect start to the season with a 4-1 away win in Valais at FC Sion. All the greater was the joy, as the big title rivals from Bern on the first matchday surprisingly in the home game against Servette Geneva feathers. After two games, however, the Young Boys are again ahead of FC Basel, as Marcel Koller in the first home game of the year against FC St. Gallen verpokerte. In the wake of this extremely important match against PSV Eindhoven, Basel scored heavily on several positions.
Basel never really had access to the game over the entire match time. Ironically, Cedric Itten, an ex-Basel, became a match winner on the side of the Aspens with a double. At the end was a bitter 1: 2 defeat, in which the FCB remained for the fourth time in a row without home win against St. Gallen. Marcel Koller took this defeat on his cap, but immediately wanted to look ahead.
With the end in the Champions League, the criticism of him would be loud again, so Basel is required. However, the Swiss have had a big thank you in the first leg towards goalkeeper Jonas Omlin, as he has repeatedly saved in Extremis. A significant increase in performance must be, otherwise we see between FC Basel and PSV Eindhoven black for a forecast on the rise of Basel.
PSV Eindhoven:
The Dutch Eredivisie does not start into the new season until next weekend. The vice-champion was but already last weekend in action, as the Dutch Supercup was on the program. In the eternal classic against arch-rivals Ajax Amsterdam, the team of head coach Mark van Bommel, however, had beaten 0-2. Was this an indicator of the match on Tuesday in Basel’s Sankt Jakobs Park? Probably not, because even the former world class player van Bommel started the rotation machine and left actors like Hirving Lozano, Donyell painting, Nick Viergever and Erick Gutierrez on the bench.
The Supercup but actually only plays the second violin in comparison to the premier class. After all, with the Austrian Vice Champion LASK Linz, a supposedly “simple” task awaits in the next qualifying round. PSV Eindhoven impressed in the first leg with a lot of wit and could prove the strengths in the offensive game even after the departure of Luuk de Jong. Last year, at least 98 league goals were scored! In that regard, we do not necessarily see the value between FC Basel and PSV Eindhoven in the odds of going away.
In terms of personnel, Mark van Bommel can draw on virtually everything in Switzerland. The latest newcomer, Timo Baumgartl from VFB Stuttgart, is not yet available. Strengthening the defense, however, is certainly necessary, because the first games, including friendlies, this season have shown that the defense is currently error-prone. Again and again, relatively cheap goals had to be dealt with.
