"After five of eight games in the opening phase of the 2025/2026 Europa League, Villa are looking strong, sitting third in the table thanks to four wins so far. Still, a three-point gap takes you all the way down to 15th, so things are still tight and every game is vital at this stage. Only top eight go directly through to the knockouts, with the next 16 teams going into the playoffs, and the bottom 12 dumped out."
"Basel are currently on the precipice in 24th, so they badly need a result. Villa are among the favourites for the Europa League title and here their boss Unai Emery, who has won the competition four times as a manager, returns to St Jakob-Park, the scene of the third of those titles with Sevilla in 2016. It should be a great game, and FourFourTwo has all the information you need to watch Basel vs Aston Villa online, on TV, and from anywhere."
Aston Villa sit third after five of eight games in the opening phase of the 2025/2026 Europa League, with four wins so far. A three-point swing can drop a team to 15th, so every remaining group game is vital. Only the top eight progress directly to the knockouts, the next 16 enter playoffs, and the bottom 12 are eliminated. Basel occupy 24th and desperately need a positive result. Unai Emery, a four-time Europa League-winning manager, returns to St Jakob-Park where he won with Sevilla in 2016.
