Basel put their impressive UEFA Europa League UEL home record on the line when they welcome Aston Villa to St. Jakob-Park on December 11, 2025, in a crucial league phase encounter.
This matchday six clash sees the Swiss side, currently languishing in 24th place in the standings, aiming to climb the table and secure a playoff spot, while Aston Villa, sitting second on goal difference after four wins and one loss, look to solidify their automatic qualification to the round of 16.
Basels first UEL campaign since 2019/20 has been inconsistent, alternating between wins and defeats W2, L3, with their latest setback a 2-1 loss to Genk on matchday five. However, theyve remained unbeaten since W2, D1, including a 2-1 domestic victory over Winterthur, and both UEL home wins this season came by two-goal margins.
