Lyon have gained great form and have won five times in a row, showing bright, productive football. Surely, today the Weavers will also rely on attack - Besiktas is extremely vulnerable in defense and has conceded seven goals in the last two rounds of the Europa League. At the same time, the Eagles will obviously also take risks, the situation obliges them to engage as much as possible, there are very high-level players ahead, they are quite capable of responding to the guests.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
