Prediction: 2-1
Lugano
All eyes will be on Tupras Stadium when Besiktas and Lugano take on each other in the Europa League playoffs, return leg. Besiktas looked sharp in front of goal in a 3-3 draw with Lugano at Stockhorn Arena and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Portugal midfielder Gedson Fernandes, who scored a brace in the first leg.
Both Arda Kilic and Emrecan Terzi remain in the recovery room, while Daniel Amartey is on the verge of leaving the club. The Swiss outfit, on the other hand, survived fallen Serbian giants Partizan in round 3, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Besiktas. Talented defender Albian Hajdari is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Istanbul.
