Besiktas vs Lugano Prediction & Betting Tips (29 August)

So yes, Besiktas did not win at home in Switzerland but it remains the ultimate favorite of this double opposition and intends to have the support of its public to punch its ticket for the Europa League. Furthermore, we can note that the Black Eagles have simply not lost a single official match since the start of the season in all competitions including a manita inflicted on Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup 0-5 and especially two successes in the league against Samsunspor 0-2 and Antalyaspor 4-2. Clearly, this Lugano team poses a lot of problems for its opponents in these qualifications. In the first round, they faced another Turkish team, in this case Fenerbahce and despite their defeat we will remember their two good scores, defeat 3-4 in the first leg, defeat 2-1 in the return.

Subsequently, the Swiss eliminated Partizan Belgrade after overtime 3-2 in total over the two matches before drawing the first leg against Besiktas 3-3. In the championship, the Bianconeri have scraped 9 points in the space of 4 days played. No championship last weekend on the program due to this double opposition.

Author of 5 goals in the league last season, Vincent Aboubakar has remained injured for a few weeks now and a return will not be rushed (OUT this evening). Absent in the first leg a week ago, Muleka has left the club in the meantime. Conversely, let us note the important arrivals of Ndour (PSG), the legendary Lazio scorer, Ciro Immobile (author of 2 goals in 2 championship matches), Rafa Silva (Benfica, free) who succeeded extremely well in his debut in Turkey (3 goals in his first 4 TCC matches), or even Gabriel Paulista (Atlético, free). Rashica (2 assists in the league) will be in the mix as will Kilicsoy (11 goals, 3 goals last year), left on the bench in the first leg. Excluded from the return against Partizan Belgrade, the important defender Hajdari served his suspension during the first round and should return to the group this evening.

It was the only major absence to report for the Swiss who will be able to count on the unbeatable Steffen (1 goal, 2 assists in the league this season), author of 2 goals in these qualifiers or even on Bislimi, scorer in the first leg. and author of a breathtaking season last year (7 goals, 7 assists). Arriving from Inter this summer, defender Zanotti (21 years old) will bring all his talent.
