🔥 One of the coolest signs of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League:
🦅 Besiktas 🆚 Midtjylland 🐺
🇹🇷 The Istanbul team got here as the fourth team in the Turkish Super League, and 🇩🇰 the club from Herning became the silver medalist of the Danish championship.
📊 Bookmakers do not single out a clear favorite in this pair:
🦅 Besiktas – 2.00
🤝 draw – 3.30
🐺 Midtjylland – 3.65
➡️ The odds for passage are almost equal:
🦅 Besiktas – 1.90
🐺 Midtjylland – 1.83
🤔 Why do bookmakers give the Danes a slightly better chance of advancing?
📚 Let us remind you that last season the Black Eagles failed to even make it to the main stage of the Conference League, while the Wolves reached the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. 📈 Given this, the bookmaker’s estimates look quite logical.
👔 Yes, the Turkish club has invited a new coach – Vincenzo Italiano, who is a well-known specialist in cup confrontations. But a number of new top players will not be able to play in the matches against Midtjylland, including Belgian Leandro Trossar.
🔄 Currently, Besiktas is undergoing a large-scale pre-season renovation, and the match against the powerful Danish team may become the first and, perhaps, too early serious test for the team.
