Match Facts

  • Basel’s only previous European encounter with a Czechia side came in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup against Zbrojovka Brno, drawing 0-0 at home and winning 4-2 away over two legs in the second round.

  • Viktoria Plzen are unbeaten in their last three major European games against Swiss teams (W1 D2) – their last two both ended goalless against Servette in the 2023-24 Conference League.

  • Basel lost their last UEFA Europa League match at St. Jakob-Park, losing 2-1 to Aston Villa. Only once have they lost consecutive home games in the competition, defeats to Fulham in December 2009 and Spartak Moscow in February 2011.

  • Viktoria Plzen have only won three of their last 22 away UEFA Europa League matches (D8 L11), although they are unbeaten in their last four (W1 D3). It’s their best unbeaten away run in the competition since a run of five between October 2012 and February 2014.

  • Xherdan Shaqiri has either scored (3) or assisted (2) each of Basel’s last five home UEFA Europa League goals – it’s the joint most goal involvements at St. Jakob-Park by a Basel player in a campaign in the competition, level with Marco Streller in 2012-13 (4 goals, 1 assist).
