Brondby might have won the first leg by a narrow margin, but they were at home then. Now they will have to take on the in-form Basel on the road and this is not at all looking good for the Danish team.
Their record on the road has been simply disastrous lately. They are letting in goals in huge numbers and they have seldom registered wins in these types of games.
It goes without saying that they have put themselves under huge pressure, and even with a one-goal lead in aggregate they will have to be in their best shape to have a shot at keeping themselves alive in these playoffs.
Meanwhile Basel are from the prestigious Swiss top flight and they had finished second in the league table at the end of the previous season.
They had lost the least number of games of all the teams in the tournament and they had found the back of the net an astonishing 70 times from just 36 matches.
Moreover, they have been on a superb run at home for quite some time now and they are finding the back of the net comfortably. It is true that they are trailing in the aggregate score-line but they will be confident that they can overturn this deficit this Thursday in front of their fans.
Expect a compelling win for the hosts Basel.
