Sevilla vs. Basel: Rami counting on home support to keep holders alive

Adil Rami wants another vibrant home crowd to roar Sevilla to victory in their Europa League last-16 second leg with Basel.

Sevilla defender Adil Rami has backed fans at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan to inspire the Europa League holders to victory against Basel on Thursday.

Unai Emery's side were held to a 0-0 draw in Switzerland in the first leg after being thwarted by some fine saves from goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, before Steven N'Zonzi was sent off late on.

Basel failed to capitalise on their brief man advantage, meaning the tie remains wide open heading into the return fixture in Spain.
