FK Tirana
Besiktas and FK Tirana square off against each other at Vodafone Park in the Conference League second qualifying round, first leg. Besiktas are considered hot favourites to win this double-header, but boss Senol Gunes must warn his men against the complacency. The opposition back-line should have former Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar at bay, while new signings Daniel Amartey, Arthur Masuaku, and Jean Onana are likely to make their Besiktas debuts against FK Tirana.
The Albanians, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the first leg, but we do not believe that they are capable of preventing Besiktas’ attackers from scoring at Vodafone Park. As for the visiting team, all Deliu, Doka, and Hila are one yellow card away from suspension as the trio picked up yellow cards in the triumph over Dinamo Batumi a week ago.
Highlighted Team (Besiktas):
Besiktas football club is one of the most successful teams in Turkey. Since its foundation in 1903, Besiktas have never been relegated to a lower rank of Turkish football. Black Eagles as they are known in Turkey play their matches at the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul which is an almost 42,000 all-seater capacity venue.
Considered one of the top three football clubs in the country, Besiktas are the 14-time Super Lig champions who are entering the Champions League group stage in the 2016-17 season looking to make their presence known at the European scene. Besiktas have played in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League four times already, and are yet to progress through to the knockout sgateg in the competition that was established in today’s format in 1992.
Their most outstanding European achievements of the Turkish side are the European Cup and UEFA Cup quarter-finals in 1987 and 2003, respectively. During their rich history the Black Eagles have also won 9 Turkish Cups and 8 national Super Cup titles.
