FC Lugano vs Besiktas Istanbul Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Sridhar in Europa League Predictions
Lugano faces the challenge of keeping Besiktas quiet as the teams meet in the play-off round of the Europa League 2024–25 season. This first-leg match will be played at the neutral venue of Stockhorn Arena in Thun on Thursday, and our prediction favors an exciting match full of goals.
The winner of this two-legged tie will move on to the league phase of this competition. The loser will remain in Europe and will drop to the league phase of the Conference League. Lugano are playing this game in Thun as their current stadium doesn't meet UEFA standards, and it remains to be seen if their home advantage has taken a hit.
The Swiss hosts are in good form coming into this match. having won 7-1 win in the domestic Cup competition, which made it 11 goals scored in their last three matches. Lugano started their Europa League campaign this season in the third qualifying round and defeated Partizan 3-2 on aggregate. Besiktas make their entry into this competition at this stage, but they are already in pristine form. The Turkish visitors have won their first three competitive matches of the season in style, scoring 11 goals in these three matches while conceding only two.
The strike force of Besiktas is proving to be an exciting one with the arrival of Ciro Immobile. The forward has already scored four goals in his last three matches, and his hunger for more goals could be bad news for Lugano.
