Basel are looking for a good preparation for the participation in the Champions League qualifiers and this competition is an excellent opportunity for that.

They are well-known as the club who is involved in high scoring matches and they continued in the same fashion in the pre-season as well.
Former Dutch champions closed their last campaign with a streak of ten victories which secured them the place in Europa League this season. However, in the first round of this competition, they failed to a convincing 3-0 defeat against Young Boys. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side has been very efficient lately and they scored at least three goals in their last nine official matches in the last season.

Basel vs Feyenoord: Prediction
Basel put a decent display in the first round, but failed to a 2-1 defeat against Wolverhampton. They are capable of improving in this one and book a victory against very strong opponent. They’ll also enjoy greater support from the stands.
Although their head to head clashes haven’t been too efficient so far, as this one is a friendly game, the crowd should enjoy a high number of goals. These two sides should be able to produce at least three goals in total.
