H2 H2 O:
Basel 5-1 Vaduz
Basel 2-0 Vaduz
Basel 1-0 Vaduz
Basel 3-1 Vaduz
As we see, Basel has taken the measure to Vaduz, with a hard 5-1 in the match of the 1st round is demonstrated the great difference of quality that there is between both sets. With this, I expect a match identical to that of the 1st round, where Basel carry the weight of the match and go to the break with advantage to finish the match as fast as possible.
