-Benjamin Huggel gave FC Basel a feasible draw in the Swiss Cup late on Thursday evening. In the last week of February next year, the Basel team have to travel to Etoile Carouge from the Challenge League.
This quarter-final will see a reunion between these two teams, who already faced each other in the same competition in the 2021/22 season. At that time, the Geneva team, who were still playing in the Promotion League at the time, won 1-0 in the round of 16 against FCB, coached by Patrick Frame.
Coach Fabio Celestini’s team cannot take this opponent lightly – especially since the Vaudois are currently ranked second in the Challenge League. In the cup round of 16 they won 1-0 in Aarau on Thursday.
