RB Salzburg vs Basel Current Form and Standings

RB Salzburg currently sit all the way down in 31st in the Europa League and would have to win both of their remaining games to have any chance of making it into the playoff places. Salzburg have won just one of their six games in the competition and are currently in the midst of a winter break which could see them come into this game lacking the match sharpness of competitive football.

Basel currently sit in 26th place with six points from their six games, with a win possibly lifting them into the playoff places before they play Viktoria Plzen, who could also need a win to confirm their place. Basel's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws and a loss from their last five games.
