Besiktas and Midtjylland face each other in one of the standout ties of the Europa League second qualifying round. As both sides are capable of finding the net, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Turkish giants have been busy in the summer transfer market, bringing in Orkun Kokcu, Leandro Trossard, and Salih Ozcan in an effort to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign. While Trossard is expected to be rested for Thursday's clash, Kokcu and Ozcan could make important contributions in midfield. The bad news for the hosts is that defender Felix Uduokhai serves a suspension. Besiktas have struggled for consistency in preseason, though, failing to win any of their last four warm-up matches.
Midtjylland, on the other hand, travel to Istanbul in high spirits after recording three consecutive preseason victories. The Danish side have looked sharp at both ends of the pitch, particularly away from home, where they have won four of their last six matches while conceding just twice. New signings Rasmus Kristensen and Friday Etim are both pushing for places in the starting XI, adding further competition within the squad. Midtjylland's recent defensive displays have been particularly impressive, with four clean sheets in their last ten matches.
Both sides possess plenty of attacking quality despite entering the tie with contrasting preseason form. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 18:00.
