Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Besiktas and Shakhtar Donetsk square off against each other at Tupras Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Thursday’s program. Besiktas have been handed a tough draw in the Europa League second qualifying round, but they are surely capable of matching the Miners at their packed stadium. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Tammy Abraham, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Yet another new recruit Orkun Kokcu is likely to make his official Besiktas debut as well. Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in the double-header with Ilves. Besiktas are a real force to be reckoned with at home and given Shakhtar’s attacking potential with the likes of Kevin, Alisson, and Kaua Elias up front, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
Highlighted Player (Milot Rashica):

Milot Rashica is a Kosovo Albanian player who was born on June 28, 1996 in Vucitrn, FR Yugoslavia. Rashica is a product of FC Vushtrria football academy and he continued playing for the Ferki Aliu Stadium outfit at senior level.
Milot Rashica is a winger, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well and it has to be noted that his preferred foot is right. Nowadays, the Albanian footballer plays for Vitesse in Dutch Eredivisie and he has established himself as a first-team regular at the club.
Milot Rashica made his Vitesse debut on July 30, 2015, coming as a substitute for Serbia international Uros Djurdjevic in a 3-0 defeat to Southampton in the Europa League qualifiers. Speaking of his Eredivisie debut, Rashica played his first match for Vitesse in the Dutch elite division on August 9, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with Willem II. The Vitesse footballer has six caps for Albania U21 team, but he represents Kosovo at senior level.
Highlighted Team (Shakhtar Donetsk):

Despite the fact that they were founded back in 1936, Shakhtar Donetsk were struggling to win the Ukrainian Premier League trophy until 2002. The Miners have established themselves as the dominant force in Ukrainian football and it has to be noted that they won their ninth domestic trophy in 2014.
Shakhtar Donetsk were playing at Donbass Arena in the past, but due to war in Donbass the club temporarily moved to Arena Lviv. In 2009 the Miners won the UEFA Cup trophy under Romanian boss Mircea Lucescu, beating Werder Bremen in the title game. Croatian full back Dario Srna was named the man of the match. Dynamo Kiev are considered Shakhtar Donetsk’s main rivals and there have always been fireworks in meetings between the two sides.
Shakhtar have a rivalry with Metalurh Donetsk as well and the two local rivals face each other in the Donetsk Derby. Chelsea ace Willian, Manchester United star Mkhitaryan and Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho all played for Shakhtar in the past.
