It was also plain sailing for the Swiss side in the round of 32 as they beat Cypriot champions APOEL 3-0 away and 1-0 at home. • Eintracht made it back to the UEFA Europa League knockout phase this term despite losing as many games as they won in the group stage, but they were convincing conquerors of Salzburg in the round of 32, winning the home leg 4-1 and drawing the delayed return fixture 2-2. Previous meetings • Basel made it two 3-0 away wins in successive rounds with their comprehensive first-leg win in Frankfurt, Samuele Campo's first European goal – a superb left-footed free-kick – opening the scoring on 27 minutes before Kevin Bua, who has since left the club, and Fabian Frei added precise finishes in the second period. • Although Basel and Frankfurt had never previously met in a UEFA match, select XIs from their respective cities did face each other in the group stage of the inaugural Inter-Cities Fairs Cup of 1955–58, each side posting a big home victory as Frankfurt won 5-1 in June 1956 and Basel 6-2 a year later. • Basel have lost all four of their previous knockout ties against German opponents and managed just two wins in seven home games against German clubs, losing the other five. Their last home win was 1-0 against Bayern München in the first leg of the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League round of 16, with Valentin Stocker scoring the late winner, but it triggered a second-leg 7-0 loss in Munich that remains the Swiss club's heaviest European defeat. • Eintracht have won three of their four UEFA two-legged ties against Swiss clubs and their record in Switzerland is W2 D1 L1, although they have failed to score on their last two visits, both against Grasshoppers in Zurich. Form guide Basel • Having won the Swiss Super League eight seasons running from 2009/10 to 2016/17, Basel finished second to Young Boys in each of the next two campaigns. In 2018/19 they were eliminated from both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League in the qualifying phase. • This season they again missed out on the UEFA Champions League proper, an away-goals success against PSV Eindhoven in the second qualifying round preceding a 5-2 aggregate defeat by LASK. That meant a transfer to the UEFA Europa League group stage, where they opened with a 5-0 home win against Krasnodar, then drew 2-2 at Trabzonspor before beating Getafe 1-0 in Spain and 2-1 in Switzerland to ensure an early qualification. • Basel's victory against APOEL took them into the UEFA Europa League round of 16 for the fourth time. They have won two and lost one of the previous three ties, beating Zenit (2-0 h, 0-1 a) in 2012/13, when they went on to reach the semi-finals, and Salzburg in 2013/14 (0-0 h, 2-1 a), but losing to eventual winners Sevilla (0-0 h, 0-3 a) in 2015/16. • Basel's overall record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase at the St. Jakob-Park is W6 D3 L2. With wins in all three home group games this term, plus the 1-0 success against APOEL, their unbeaten home run in the UEFA Europa League, qualifying included, has now stretched to nine matches (W7 D2) • Basel have won 12 of the 13 UEFA ties in which they were triumphant on the road in the first leg, the most recent in this season's round of 32 against APOEL – the only previous occasion when they have triumphed 3-0.
