Prediction: 2-2
Besiktas
Stade de la Tuiliere will host a highly-anticipated Conference League game between Laussane and Besiktas, the two teams that meet for the first time in European competitions. Laussane eliminated FC Astana in style, with the Swiss outfit winning both legs, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Besiktas. Both Enzo Kana-Biyik and Alvyn Sanches remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. Summer signing Tammy Abraham has already started paying off and given Laussane’s attacking potential at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Mustafa Hekimoglu remains in the treatment room, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no other selection worries ahead of the trip to Switzerland.
