Aston Villa strengthened their push to finish in the UEFA Europa League top eight with a hard-earned 2-1 win over Basel, marking just their second victory in their last seven away games in the competition and also following up their 2-1 Premier League victory against Arsenal with another.
While Basel's UEL campaign has been inconsistent, Villa have been far more predictable and predictably strong, and they showed that again here even Softfootball got the prediction of the game right, predicting a 2-1 victory in the pre-match report.
The victory was their X victory on the bounce, a feat that was celebrated by the Villains in a post made via their official X account.
