UEFA EL Qualifiers, Play-Off return leg, 30 August 2018

30 August 2018

Apollon Limassol vs. FC Basel

For the first time, Basel will charter an Air X aircraft to travel abroad. Boeing 737-500 9H-YES will do the job, not its first football assignment and surely not its last:

AXY2803 AMS 1600-1710 BSL B735 9H-YES (28/08/18, ferry flt)

AXY3106 LCA xxxx-1850 BSL B735 9H-YES (31/08/18)

Burnley FC vs. Olympiacos Piraeus

The time difference of two hours back from Piraeus to Burnley leads to an early arrival for Olympiacos. The visitors will look to defend their 3-1 lead from the first leg while Burnley give their best to stay in contention, even if the weekends' performances have tailed off recently, given the double fixtures they currently play every week:

FC Basel vs. Apollon Limassol

The team from Cyprus is taking a rather unusual way to get from Paphos to Basel, flying with Astra Airlines' BAe 146-300 SX-DIZ, which has to take an intermediate stop on the way from PFO to BSL, stopping in Thessaloniki. Also, the return flight at 6h in the morning is something very unusually seen in the professional football circuit:

Vitesse Arnhem vs. FC Basel

Former Swiss champions Basel had a difficult start to the season and are already out of contention for the Champions League. They are now looking to save their season in the Europa League:

Zorya Lugansk vs. SC Braga

The Portuguese team from the northern city of Braga travels from Porto as usual, this time towards Zaporozhye, where the Lugansk team has set up its temporary base during the still ongoing troubles between Ukraine and Russia:

Off the back of an inspiring season, Burnley have earned themselves international football. The task away in Turkey may not sound too fancy, but should surely be doable:
