Best Tip: Besiktas to win

This is a fixture that really only looks like going one way and, unfortunately for the home team, that way is Besiktas's. We predict Thursday's visitors to S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno stadionas will have too much for their hosts, and it's a view backed up by each side's respective recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from the UK's leading bookies too. They've made an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely outcome, and give a best price of 1.42.
