Match facts

Basel

Basel have won their last three Champions League home games against English clubs (Manchester Utd in November 2011, Chelsea in November 2013, Liverpool in October 2014).
In fact, Basel have only lost two of their 11 Champions League encounters with English clubs (W4 D5).
Basel have to better Ludogorets' result against PSG to finish third and secure a Europa League spot.
Basel have lost only two of their last eight Champions League home games (W3 D3), those defeats coming against Real Madrid and Paris SG.
None of Basel's 25 home games in the Champions League has ever ended goalless.

Arsenal

Arsenal have won all five of their previous competitive encounters with Swiss clubs (10 goals scored, 1 conceded). This includes the 2-0 win against Basel in North London last September.
Arsenal have made it to the Champions League knockout stages for the 14th consecutive season but have been eliminated at the last 16 stage in the past six campaigns. They must better PSG's result to finish top of the group, a feat they haven't accomplished since 2011/12.
The Gunners have won their final Champions League group game in each of the last two seasons after losing their previous three. It's also the eighth time in the last nine seasons that Arsenal's final group game is away from home.
Arsenal have not remained unbeaten in a Champions League group campaign since 2005/06 (W5 D1).

Predictions

The Gunners should be wary of Seydou Doumbia and Matias Delgado, the pair have nine goals apiece this season, and the latter also has seven assists, but even a rotated Arsenal side should have ambitions of picking up three points here.

Final Score – 1 : 2

2 weeks ago I was amused about Arsenal having 6 players in the injury ALREADY and said they are building that list like they always do. My prediction was that it would grow. Now it is 7 injuries and one suspension. Will it grow even more coming weeks?
