asel - Belenenses Basel preview

asel - Belenenses Basel hosts Belenenses in the 3rd round of the group stage of Europa League. Basel is the current leader os Swiss first division with 31 points resulting of 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 lost. They got the best offensive record with 32 goals scored and best defensive record with 14 goals conceded. In Europa League they are the leaders of the group with 2 wins in the first 2 matches: 2-1 in Italy against Fiorentina, and 2-0 at home against Lech. Basel is clearly one of the best 2 teams in this group, and they will face the worst team in the group. In this season, in their 20 official games, they won by 2 or more goals 12 times, and only get 3 draws and 1 lost. And in 18 of this 20 matches they scored at least 1 goal. In the other side of the field we got Belenenses. They are in the 13th spot of the table, with only 1 win in the league, 4 draws and 2 losts. They got 9 goals scored and 17 conceded (worst defensive record in the Portuguese League). They are a so so team, but against stronger opponents they feel lost in the field. This year they got 3 really hard matches this season Benfica, were they lost by 6-0, Porto were they lost by 4-0, and Fiorentina were they lost at home by 4-0. Today I see a game ike this one. Basel is few worst than this 3 teams, but at home they are a hard team to beat. and for me they will for sure win this one. Additionally Carlos Martins and Tonel (the two more experient Belenenses players, former Benfica and Sporting players), don't go with the team to Basel, and for sure won't play. For me Basel will win, and most probably by 2 or more goals, so this handicap is with great odds, and it will fall until the start of the match.
