FC Basel 1893 will play host to English Premier League side Aston Villa when the latter visit St. Jakob-Park on Thursday for a league phase encounter of the ongoing 2025-26 UEFA Europa League.
FC Basel have had a very inconsistent league phase so far; the RotBlau have won 2 and lost 3 of their 5 Europa League fixtures till this point in the competition. The team are currently sitting in 24th position on the league phase charts; the said position is the last to guarantee a playoff spot.
A record that will speak highly in favour of Basel is their 100% winning rate while playing Europa League fixtures at their home; the RotBlau have won each of their last seven UEFA Europa League fixtures played at St. Jakob-Park. Coupled with this fact, the two-match winning streak of Ludovic Magnin’s men on the domestic front will surely provide the Basel faithful with hopes of a strong showing on Thursday.
Aston Villa are currently flying high; the team have suddenly become serious contenders for the Premier League title, and are breathing heavily on the necks of Arsenal and Manchester City. The Lions are currently on a winning streak of seven consecutive games, the latest of which was the 2-1 victory over league leaders Arsenal.
The European form of Unai Emery’s side is also commendable; Aston Villa currently sit on top of the UEL league phase charts with 12 points in their bag, jointly with Lyon and Midtjylland. However, pertaining to the fixture on Thursday, the form of the English side while playing Europa League fixtures away from Villa Park can come into play; the Lions have only registered a solitary victory out of their last six UEL games on the road.
Taking into account current forms and recent results, a win for Aston Villa can be predicted. However, a strong showing by both teams is also strongly hinted towards strongly.
