1.75Tip and bets
Twente still has a chance to get to the playoffs, but to do so they need to take all three points today. It is obvious that the hosts will take risks and will most likely put serious pressure on Besiktas not-so-stable defense in the first half. It will be almost impossible for the Eagles to keep a clean sheet, there are plenty of productive mistakes, especially often in away games. At the same time, Besiktas' motivation will also be off the charts, there are very high-level players ahead, and the guests are capable of responding.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Twente have recently slowed down a bit both in the championship and in the Europa League, but in home matches the Tukkers are traditionally strong, a series of three victories in a row on their home field says a lot. It is obvious that today the hosts will be maximally motivated and charged for victory - they are quite capable of setting such tasks for themselves, Besiktas is not distinguished by particular stability and is especially vulnerable in away matches, Twente is quite capable of taking all three points in a confrontation with such an opponent.
Bet - Twente win. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
Twente are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
