Besiktas vs Olympiakos Piraeus Prediction & Betting tips
Besiktas :
Last week Besiktas and Olympiacos holding each other on Greek soil balanced, but thanks to the away goal from Abou Bakar, the Turks have the best credentials for a place in the next round of the Europa League. A goalless draw is the black whitening basically adequate. In addition, the Black Eagles in the league and in Europe meanwhile eighteen months are unbeaten in their own Vodafone Arena. Small caveat is that the club coach Gunes last weekend played a 2-2 draw against Kayserispor – at such a result against the Greeks draw the Turks on the basis of uitgoals obviously the short straw.
Besiktas is so good, but sports commentator Onay know that the loot is still inside: “To smoothly the match Besiktas will need to score at least twice.” He can sometimes be right in, because in the back have to push the Turks. Marcelo is because of injuries anyway not, while Tosic is doubtful. Defensive midfielder Arslan was suspended. Mitrovic is probably the replacement for Marcelo, while Özyakup will assume the position of Arslan. Front Besiktas hopes on a whim of players like Quaresma, Talisca and Aboubakar.
Probable lineup Besiktas
Fabricio; Gökhan Gönül, Mitrovic, Tosic, Adriano; Hutchinson, Özyakup; Quaresma, Talisca, Babylon; Aboubakar
Olympiakos Piraeus :
The Greek Olympiacos with six league titles in a row for years autocrat at home and also is the season again on course for the 44th championship in club history. The big challenge is obviously beyond their own borders, reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League is currently the major goal that must give everything for. Due to last week’s 1-1 Olympiacos able to light up, but at an early Greek goal in Istanbul are the roles reversed immediately. Defender De la Bella, “we are going to score first in the return match against Besiktas. The first goal will take us to the quarterfinals. ”
Scoring is indeed necessary, but that is easier said than done. Thief scorer Brown (thirteen league goals) yielded this winter for the big money in China and also midfielder Milivojevic (six league goals) picked up his bags and went to Crystal Palace. That midfielder Fortounis himself with just five league goals now can call top scorer of Olympiacos is telling. Last weekend, although Olympiakos won 2-0 Atromitos, but the attack broke down again. Defender Da Costa and an own goal by the visitors decided the game. This lack of offensive momentum should still cause concern Vouzas interim manager. He temporarily take the honors after Paulo Bento earlier this month was fired. The Portuguese went over the lead, but a series of three consecutive defeats and strong criticism of some players eventually cost him the cup.
Probable lineup Olympiacos
Leali; Cissokho, Retsos, Botia, Diogo Figueiras; Cambiasso, Romao; Elyounoussi, Fortounis, Manthatis; Ansarifard
