Slovan Bratislava vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting tips
In group K, Slovan Bratislava and Besiktas compete against each other. Slovan Bratislava also wants to perform outside of Slovakia in Europe, but in recent years it has been proven that this is still a difficult task. The Turkish opponent has performed slightly better in European terms in recent years, but this season the performance in the Turkish competition is disappointing. Who makes a good start and takes points in the first round of the Europa League?
Slovan Bratislava:
In 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, Slovan Bratislava played preliminary rounds for Europe or Champions League, but from all those years this is the first time that the Slovakian team managed to survive all preliminary rounds. Slovan Bratislava settled with KF Feronikeli, Dundalk FC and PAOK. The club shows good football this season and is now at nineteen points after eight games. The Slovakian champion is thus second, only one point behind the leader. The team of Martin Ševela scores on average three times per match in the relatively weak competition.
Slovan Bratislava has never won a match in the Europa League. In the six European matches that it played, five times was lost and one tie. That was a draw against Paris Saint-Germain in 2012. Those are not hopeful statistics for the Slovaks.
Besiktas:
Besiktas had a reasonable year last season, but only finished third. They approached four points behind Galatasaray and Basaksehir also stood in front of Besiktas. In the witch cauldron, called Vodafone Park, the club from Istanbul seemed unbeatable. In the end they did not win the championship because of the away games. Outside the Vodafone Park, Besiktas performed significantly worse. Besiktas also failed to impress last year in the Europa League. The Black Eagle wants to make a real difference next season and therefore well-known names such as Shinji Kagawa (BVB Dortmund), Loris Karius (Liverpool) and Adam Ljajic (Torino) were presented as rental transfers.
Yet the club from Istanbul started the new season enormously weak. After four games against smaller clubs such as Sivasspor, Goztepe, Rizespor and Gazisehir, only one game was won and one draw. Last weekend’s defeat was the most painful, because against doctoral student Gazisehir, the Besiktas supporters were only satisfied with a victory. This did not come and Besiktas looked after a 3-0 deficit after 80 minutes, but managed to come back to 3-2. After this lousy result, Besiktas is thirteenth in the Süper Lig.
