Basel meet Arsenal in a televised Champions League match this Tuesday. Read the match predictions to find out why an away win is the betting tip at St Jakob-Park. Basel lost 3-1 away to Young Boys Bern at the weekend while Arsenal thrashed West Ham 1-5 and come into this match on a high.

Basel vs Arsenal Preview

Basel welcome back Serey Die to the squad after a suspension but he may have to settle for a spot on the bench here. The Swiss side have question marks over the fitness of Jean-Paul Boetius, Manuel Akanji and Kevin Bua who are all expected to miss out. Seydou Doumbia will lead the line for the hosts and will hope to use his physical presence to ruffle a few feathers in the Arsenal defence.

Arsenal have coped well despite a raft of injuries. Danny Welbeck, Per Mertesacker, Chuba Akpom, Hector Bellerin and Mathieu Debuchy are all expected to miss this one. Olivier Giroud is doubtful but crucially, Alexis Sanchez is fit and available after his man of the match performance against West Ham.

Basel 4-1-4-1 formation: Vaklic; Traore, Balanta, Suchy, Lang; Xhaka; Steffen, Delgado, Zuffi, Bjarnason; Doumbia

Basel vs Arsenal Prediction

Basel drew 0-0 with Ludogorets Razgrad in their last Champions League match which puts their chances of making the Europa League in doubt. The hosts will be aiming to better the Bulgarian side’s result in this match, something which could be beyond them.

Arsenal certainly knew they were in a match in the reverse fixture but come into this in excellent form. The Gunners need to better PSG’s result to qualify for the last 16 as group winners, so will look to pick up where they left off against West Ham.

Arsenal have scored at least twice in their last 4 Champions League games and were clinical in front of goal at the weekend. The visitors are unbeaten in their last 5 matches in this competition while Basel haven’t won in 7 attempts. This has the makings of an exciting match and Arsenal are tipped to outscore their hosts.
