One of two mathes played on Tuesday in the Europa League final preliminary round as Besiktas welcome Finland’s HJK Helsinki.
Besiktas got off to a great start in the Turkish Super League winning their debut match away to Bucaspor. A good victory for their morale in Europa League and the domestic league.
They are certainly the favorites for a victory here and the qualification in the group stages and after the previous experiences they will be pushing for a clear win and a comfortable trip next week.
HJK is entering the competition after it’s defeat in the Champions League preliminaries against another Eastern team, Partizan Belgrade. Not a great fight put up by them as they managed to concede 5 goals and score only one in both legs.
They currently lead the domestic league table with 3 points above Honka but it’s European history shows virtually nothing.
My pick: Besiktas to win ( over 2.5 goals )
