FC Basel vs Ludogorets Razgrad
UEFA Champions League – Group A
Date: Tuesday, 14th September, 2016,
Kick-Off:01:45 GMT+7
Venue: St. Jakob-Park, Basel.
Only five conceded and amazing twenty four scored goals in seven league matches this season put FC Basel 1893 on top of the table in domestic championship with almost twice as much point as second placed Young Boys. They are playing in amazing form and in Champions League qualification group A, they are definitely favorites from the shadow.
Basel however enters this match weakened for several key players and it may reflect to their performances on the field. For sure they will head for the victory in front of their supporters, but primarily will be focused on defense and not to go behind. Ludogorets on the other side came to this stage through qualifying matches where they showed determination and good team play, but also many oscillations in their play. They are also playing inconstant in domestic championship where are currently on third place. In this match they are entering fully fit and highly motivated. Ludogorets Razgrad are considered as outsiders in the group beside PSG, Arsenal and their opponent in this match FC Basel but they can be very tough opponent, and they will not let points away easily. They play brave and without fear no matter who are playing against.
When it comes to their mutual encounters, this will be their fifth match against each other. Four previous matches two teams played also in Champions League in season 2013 and 2014. FC Basel won in three matches, including last one when they won 4-0 and Ludogorets Razgrad won in match before 1-0. Very interesting match is expected and even though FC Basel is considered as favorites in this match, they will have to put more effort to win.
