On Thursday, February 23, FC Basel will host Trabzonspor at St. Jakob-Park for the double leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoff. In the first leg last week, the Turkish team performed admirably to win by a slim 1-0 score, and they will attempt to maintain their dominance.
Last week, Trabzonspor’s 1-0 victory over Basel in the first leg ended Basel’s hopes of competing in the Conference League. Their struggles in the Super League, in which they have won just one of their last six games, including a 2-2 draw with Sevette over the weekend and three losses, continued with the loss.
In the meantime, due to the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria, Trabzonspor’s match on Thursday will be emotional. After having their domestic games postponed, Abdullah Avci’s team has won five of their last seven competitive games. They defeated Umraniyespor in extra time to advance to the Turkish Cup quarterfinals on January 18, winning 4-1. With 38 points from 22 games, Trabzonspor, who played in the first half of the season in the Europa League, is sixth in the Super Lig.
