On Thursday evening, from 17:55, Besiktas Istanbul receives the visit of Wolverhampton, in the second stage of the UEFA Europa League groups. Without Victor Ruiz, injured, the Turks start with a second chance in front of the Premier League team, which has a difficult start to the season in England.
Besiktas is struggling in Europe, where he has lost 4 of the last 6 games, the black and white band often being involved in spectacular games. Wolverhampton has a lot of quality in the lot, but it adopts the trips with a cautious style, which produces the spark only at key moments. This happened also in the move from Turin, where the “wolves” won 3-2 in the play-off.
In the first stage, Besiktas lost on the field of Slovan Bratislava by 2-4, and the last month was a nightmare for the “vultures”: 1-4 with Trabzonspor, 1-1 with Basaksehir, 2-4 with Slovan and 2-3 with Gaziantepsor. The game of the hosts does not convince, which could bring the success of the English. Wolves comes after a 2-0 home run with Watford, and the team seems to be back to form once.
It is the second stage of the groups, and the two teams are in the last position in the group K. Wolverhampton lost at home 0-1 in front of those from Braga, and now needs points to hope for qualification. With all the stars on the field, Wolves will be dangerous. The guests have a stake in this group, after they have passed the preliminaries, and the quality is on the side of the favorites.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,66
