Kick-off on January 22, 2026, at 22:00.

In Matchday 7 of the Europa League league phase, a match between Salzburg and Basel will take place at the Salzburg Stadium. The teams have faced each other three times, with the Swiss club claiming two victories, while one meeting ended in a draw. The last time the opponents met was in 2014, in the Round of 16 of this same tournament.

Salzburg has collected three points in the first six rounds thanks to a home victory over Go Ahead Eagles, 2–0. In the remaining league-phase matches, the Austrian side suffered defeats, which has left it in a difficult position. The hosts still retain theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs, but to do so, it must win both of its remaining matches and hope for slip-ups from its direct competitors. Despite its struggles on the European stage, the club leads the domestic championship, holding a three-point advantage over its closest challenger. The Austrian side is determined to use home-field advantage to put an end to its run of European setbacks.

Basel has six points to its name, but it remains outside the top 24. The Swiss side has recorded victories over Stuttgart and FCSB, but in matches against Freiburg, Lyon, Genk, and Aston Villa, it conceded two goals in each game. Like its opponent, it began the season in the Champions League qualifiers but failed to clear the final hurdle, falling to Copenhagen. In the domestic league, the team currently sits in fourth place, well behind the leader. The visitors are aiming to pick up points away from home in order to secure a spot in the playoff zone ahead of the final round.
