Europa League Betting Preview: Basel vs Aston Villa

Swiss Super League side Basel host Premier League club Aston Villa at St. Jakob Park, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 11 December.

We’ll go directly for the pick of Aston Villa when it comes to the Full-Time Result market. We think they are capable of a comfortable win against Basel, with odds of -135 looking too good to pass up.

FC Basel won last time out by a 2-1 scoreline. It was away from home against FC Winterthur at Schuetzenwiese Stadion in the Super League. The Bebbi boasted 58% possession and had eight shots on target, with Xherdan Shaqiri and Keigo Tsunemoto each scoring one goal.

Aston Villa secured a 2-1 home win over Premier League leaders Arsenal at Villa Park in their previous game. Unai Emery's men had 47% possession and recorded six shots on goal, with Matty Cash and Emiliano Buendia on the scoresheet.
