We said: Basel 2-0 CSKA Sofia (Basel win 2-1 on aggregate)

CSKA Sofia performed admirably to take a lead in their home leg and will be desperate to stay ahead, but we see the hosts having slightly too much and overturning the deficit in Switzerland. Even without their players on top form so far this season, Frei will expect to see them outclass the Bulgarian visitors and book their spot in the group stage before the need for extra time.
