BASEL v FIORENTINA BETTING PREVIEW

Basel, who beat Fiorentina 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Artemio Franchi in September sit top of Group I with 9 points, and have already opened a 7 point lead in the Raiffeissen Super League. Anyway, they are winless during November as they have lost at home to St. Gallen and away at Grasshoppers.

Basel have three injury concerns in defense as Walter Samuel, Daniel Höegh and Ivan Ivanov are all sidelined, and Daniel Akanji may be unable to go as well. Firthermore, Philip Degen is out through injury. Marc Janko - 11 goals from 12 appearances this season- will lead the line with Embolo, Zuffi and Gashi behind him.

Fiorentina have enjoyed a strong start to the season in Italy but enter the match on the back of their first seasonal draw at home to Empoli, after they were 2 goals down. In Europa League, the Viola sit second in Group I on 6 points, so a good win would put them first on goal differential

Paulo Sousa has only Jakub Blaszczykowski sidelined and he is expected to field a strong side. The 3-4-2-1 will see Nikola Kalinic in the lone forward berth with Bernardeschi and Ilicic as offensive midfielders. Sepe will repalce Tatarusanu between the posts. Giuseppe Rossi is expected to play at some stage.
