Command Analysis

Besiktas

Current form
Besiktas have had a very solid start to the season, managing to snatch the title in their first match, thrashing Galatasaray 5-0 in the Super Cup. In the championship, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's team easily dealt with Samsunspor (2-0) and Antalyaspor (4-2). However, they were unable to secure a victory in the first match against Lugano - a 3-3 draw leaves some intrigue in the confrontation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Necip Uysal is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Besiktas have not lost yet this season – three wins and a draw
- Besiktas have scored more than one goal in each of their last four matches
Probable line-up : Gunok - Svensson, Paulista, Topku, Masuaku - Al-Musrati, N'Dour, Rashica, Fernandes, Rafa Silva - Immobile.

Lugano

Current form
Lugano started the current season in the Champions League qualification, but failed to get past their first opponent. In the confrontation with Fenerbahce, Mattia Croci-Torti's team lost both at home and away. In the Europa League in the last round, the vice-champion of Switzerland with great difficulty got past Partizan, managing to beat the Serbs only in extra time. A 3:3 home draw against Besiktas complicated the task as much as possible.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lugano has no problems with its squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lugano have only won one of their last four matches
- Lugano have conceded in each of their last four matches
Probable line-up : Saipi - Valencia, El Wafi, Papadopoulos, Zanotti - Belhadj, Doumbia, Bislimi - Aliseda, Vladi, Steffen.

2.45Tip and bets
Besiktas looked objectively stronger in the first match, but they could not hold on to their two-goal lead and had to settle for a draw. The Eagles are certainly capable of playing more collected at home, and they have a noticeable advantage over their opponents in class. It is unlikely that Lugano has a chance to even get a draw in Istanbul and take the match into extra time, as Besiktas is objectively stronger today.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Besiktas . This bet is offered with odds of 1.65
Bet on total
Besiktas plays attacking football and scores a lot - in four matches of the current season, the "eagles" have scored 14 goals against their opponents. It is obvious that Lugano's defense will have many problems again, but at the same time the Swiss have nothing to lose, in the first match they scored three times against their opponents, and they will certainly not leave the hosts with a clean sheet today.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Besiktas are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Besiktas. This bet is offered for 1.61
