LASK Linz vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening will be played in the Europa League season 2018/19, the return matches of the 3rd qualifying round. The LASK will welcome Besiktas Istanbul’s team at the Linz stadium. The first leg in Istanbul had the Linz ASK “only” with 0: 1 lost. Now the Austrians dream of the next round. But in the 110-year club history, the Linzer could never progress after a defeat in the European Cup still a round. Besiktas was last season in the Champions League knockout round and of course now absolutely in the Europa League group stage. A breakout against Linz would be a huge disgrace and would throw the club probably right at the beginning of the season in the first crisis. The betting base is facing the Europa League match LASK vs.. Besiktas and its betting odds to provide a promising tip to the game.
LASK:
2014 played the Linz ASK still in the Austrian Regionalliga. As a climber, the Linz Athletics Sport Club managed last season to a great fourth place in the Bundesliga in Austria. This meant that the Upper Austrians after 19 years break in this season were allowed to return to the European Cup. In the second round, Linz prevailed against the Norwegian Cup winner Lilleström (4: 0, 2: 1). At the weekend LASK celebrated with a 1-0 at FC Admira the first victory of the season in the league. The winning goal fell in the 91st minute.
Before that, there was a defeat at champions Red Bull Salzburg (1: 3) and a draw at home against St. Pölten (0: 0). In the first cup round, the team of coach Oliver Glasner had prevailed 3: 0 at the regional league Hertha Wels. Glasner was a member of the Red Bull football family for many years and now also tries to convey the style to the ASK with early pressing and lots of running work. In the last season Linz was home strong and could win ten out of 18 games. Coach Glasner has to give up Besiktas on center-back David Bumberger and left winger Joao Victor. However, LASK will have anything but an easy match against Besiktas, according to bookmaker betting odds; Betting on the Austrians should therefore be well considered.
Besiktas:
Internationally, Besiktas last season was pretty good. The Black Eagles were the first Turkish team to ever finish a Champions League group as a table first. In the second round Besiktas but then separated quite clearly against Bayern Munich. This season Istanbul can only run in the Europa League, as they finished in the Süper Lig behind rivals Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Basaksehir only fourth place. Before that, Besiktas had taken two championships in a row and raised his account in Turkey to 15 championships. Coach Senol Günes has in his squad world championship drivers such as the Croatian Vice World Champion Domagoj Vida and the Portuguese Pepe and Ricardo Quaresma. Without the World Cup participants Besiktas sat in the second European League qualifying round sovereign against the Faroese club B36 Torshavn.
The new Süper Lig season kicked off with a 2-1 home win against Akhisar Belediyespor. This allowed the Black Eagles to win the last seven competitive games in a row. Istanbul has not conceded a goal in the Europa League this season. With just 30 goals Besiktas also set the best defensive of the Süper Lig in the previous season. In 17 home games, the team of coach Senol Günes had remained without bankruptcy and had only three points. Coach Günes has to get along in Linz without defensive man Adriano. In addition, the newcomers Atiba Hutchinson, Orkan Cinar and Umut Nayir have no eligibility for the Europa League.
