Besiktas Istanbul vs FC Lugano Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Ian John | in Europa League Predictions
No Europa League Playoff first-leg tie was as exciting as Lugano vs Besiktas. The two met at the Stockhorn Arena last week and shared six goals in a fabulous 3-3 draw. Will the Bianconeri manage to land a win in the away leg, or will Kara Kartallar, under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, win the match? Let’s take a look at what our prediction makes of this encounter!
Besiktas won’t be overly-confident heading into this tie. Their last game at home to FC Lugano ended in defeat in the Conference League last season. However, a 3-3 draw in Switzerland is a good result and means that Van Bronckhorst’s team will start this second-leg as the favourites to progress into the draw for the league stage later this week.
However, Mattia Croci-Torti will be hoping his FC Lugano team can cause another upset with a second away win in a year against their Turkish opponents. However, they have already faced a Turkish team in Europe, losing both legs in a 6-4 aggregate defeat to Fenerbahce in the Champions League qualifiers.

Besiktas Istanbul - FC Lugano: Form Analysis
Besiktas come into this game in excellent form. They have lost just one of their last ten games in the Europa League, they are unbeaten in four games this season, winning three and have scored 14 goals in their four competitive games thus far.
They have reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League on two occasions, in 2002/03, when they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Lazio and again in 2016/17, when after a 3-3 draw with Lyon on aggregate, they lost 7-6 on penalties in Istanbul.
Goals have not been an issue for the Turkish side. Ciro Immobile, Gedson Fernandes, Rafa Silva have all netted more than once this season.
FC Lugano made a great start to the Swiss domestic season, winning their first three games. However, they lost 3-2 at home to Luzern in their most recent league match. In Europe, though, things have been tougher. They lost both legs to Fenerbahce in the Champions League to drop into the Europa League.
There, they earned a 1-0 win away to Partizan Belgrade, before drawing 2-2 at home in the second leg. This was followed by the 3-3 draw with Besiktas at home in the first leg of this tie.

Besiktas Istanbul & FC Lugano Squad Analysis
Besiktas boss Gio Van Bronckhorst has no suspension worries for this second-leg tie at home to Lugano. That said, Daniel Amartey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Abdullah Aydin and Oguzhan Akgun are all ineligible for the game after not being named in their Europa League squad.
The manager is expected to stick with the same or a very similar line-up to that which started the first game in Switzerland last week. This means Ciro Immobile will lead the line in attack, assisted by Gedson Fernandes, Milot Rashica, and Rafa from deeper-lying roles.
Ex-West Ham left-back Arthur Masuaku will provide quality down the left, with Emirhan Topcu and Gabriel Paulista set to anchor the defence as the two centre-backs.
Lugano boss Mattia Croci-Torti may be of a similar mind to his opposing manager for the second leg, especially after his team won in this stadium against the same opponents in the Europa Conference League last season.
That means an attack-minded 4-3-3 system will be employed with Ignacio Aliseda and Renato Steffen likely to flank the central attacker Shkelquim Vladi.

Our Besiktas Istanbul vs FC Lugano Prediction
Our prediction for the Besiktas vs. FC Lugano Europa League Playoff second leg is: Besiktas to win and Over 2.5 Goals.
After an enthralling first leg between these two teams, the second leg seems to favor the home side. Besiktas are unbeaten this season in the four games they have played, winning three and that includes all their home fixtures so far. FC Lugano showed that they can find the net against the Turkish side in the first leg, but it is a big ask to claim the win in Turkey.
