Our Prediction for the Match: Beşiktaş vs Lugano
Beşiktaş, known as the "Eagles," will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage to secure a win after a high-scoring draw in the first leg. Despite a disappointing domestic season last year, Beşiktaş has shown improvement in their recent performances, including a strong start to their new league campaign and a solid showing in Europe.
Lugano, on the other hand, has had a commendable season in the Swiss Super League and managed to hold Beşiktaş to a draw in the first leg. However, playing away in Istanbul is a different challenge altogether, and Beşiktaş will likely have the upper hand, especially with the home crowd behind them.
Given Beşiktaş's form and the home advantage, they are expected to finish the job and secure their place in the Europa League group stage.
