Prediction: 3-0
Iberia 1999
Basaksehir will be aiming to extend their winning run to six games in all competitions when they take on Iberia 1999 in the Conference League third qualifying round, return leg. The Turks won the first leg thanks to Davidson’s late goal and they are now on a quest to seal their spot in the playoffs. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former AC Milan attacker Krzysztof Piatek, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Iberia 1999, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in Istanbul. As David faces Goliath at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Iberia midfielder Shota Nonikashvili should be very cautious in Thursday’s encounter as the 23-year-old is only one yellow card away from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Basaksehir):
Istanbul Basaksehir are one of the youngest clubs in Turkey. Founded in 1990, Istanbul Basaksehir play their home games at Fatih Terim Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2014. The Turkish club club have yet to win the national championship, but they did well to finish the 2016/2017 Super Lig campaign in second place in the standings.
As a result, Istanbul Basaksehir booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers and thanks to a win over Club Brugge in the two-legged tie the capital club set up a meeting with La Liga side Sevilla in the play-offs. Despite producing fine performances in the double-header against the star-studded Spanish side Istanbul Basaksehir eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages.
Nonetheless, the club will represent Turkey in the group stages of the Europa League in the 2017/2018 season. It has to be noted that the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Eljero Elia, Emre Belozoglu and Gael Clichy played for Istanbul Basaksehir in the 2017/2018 Champions League qualifiers.
