Captain suspended – 18-year-old as replacement?
In addition to the long-term injured Filip Ugrinic, Loris Benito and Kastriot Imeri, YB will also have to make do without the suspended defense chief Ali Camara today. Because new signing Anel Husic is not eligible to play in the Europa League, the central defender is called Mats Seiler, only 18 years old. His reference this season: eight games in promotion and six in the UEFA Youth League. By the way, Camara and Husic traveled with us.
World Footballer Machines Sporty
No other club in the world, apart from the Sporting Clube de Portugal, has produced two world footballers: Cristiano Ronaldo (five times) and Luis Figo (once).
The people of Basel know the referee very well
The referee is the Slovak Ivan Kruzliak (39). He refereed FC Basel in the embarrassing Corona match against CSKA Sofia (1:3) in 2020 and was also the game manager in FCB’s 2:2 draw in the Europa League group matches against Fiorentina in 2015. He also refereed the match in the same contest. FC Sion’s strong 1-1 win against Bordeaux, also in the Europa League.
Sporting’s defense chief is present
Defense chief Sebastian Coates (33) of the home team is back. The 51-time Uruguayan national player was spared in the first leg on the artificial grass in Bern due to his unstable knee joints.
1800 Bernese fans
1,800 Bernese fans took part in the trip to Lisbon. Remarkable. Even more impressive: One of them spent 40 hours (!) on the Flixbus. Real LYBe.
Statistics speak against YB
A look at the statistics shows how difficult the task is for YB: a Swiss team has never advanced after a two-goal defeat in the first leg at home. Servette scored 1:3 on the Charmilles against Feyenoord Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but lost the decider. Eight times a Helvetian team advanced after a two-goal defeat in the first leg. All eight times with a home game. Also YB twice. Only three Swiss teams were able to turn things around after suffering a one-goal defeat at home. If YB succeeds in the miracle, it will reach Biblical proportions.
